Details from the report
A coroner's report found that 21-year-old safety Tyler Ulrich died from a traumatic brain injury and brain bleed after a helmet-to-helmet hit caused a subdural hematoma. Ulrich was hospitalized on Oct. 10 during an away game and died five days later.
Game circumstances
The injury occurred while Ulrich was part of a group tackle against Ouachita Baptist University. Medical staff responded on the field before he was taken to a hospital. Southern Nazarene completed that contest but skipped its next scheduled game.
Season context and aftermath
Ulrich was one of two football players to die from a traumatic head or neck injury in the past nine years. He was the second college player to die from a game-related incident this season. The team later returned and recorded a 60-37 win over Northwestern Oklahoma State University.
