OSG High: AZ Football Player Dies After On-Field Collapse

((HT: 12News/Phoenix))

It seemed like a normal football play with a normal football tackle, but it turned out tragic for a family, a school, a team, and a sport...

Arizona Lutheran was in a blowout with Hopi High when Charles Youvella, a Hopi senior, was tackled after catching a pass.

He hit the back his head when he went down, but seemed okay to keep playing. He played two more plays before collapsing...

As it turns out, Youvella suffered a traumatic brain injury, and was taken to a Phoenix-area hospital.

He died Monday night...

Chris Williams was outside the hospital...
