Furman University is grieving the loss of senior Bryce Stanfield from Acworth, who tragically collapsed on the field during a morning workout at Paladin Stadium in early February. Two days after the incident, Stanfield succumbed to a pulmonary embolism, a medical condition characterized by a blood clot blocking blood flow to an artery in the lung.

President Davis expressed deep condolences to Stanfield's family and friends, emphasizing the importance of supporting one another during times of profound loss. The Furman community is profoundly affected by the news of Stanfield's passing, and the university stands ready to provide assistance and care as needed.

A health sciences student at Furman and a member of the university's football team, Stanfield was posthumously awarded his Bachelor of Science degree in a small private ceremony held on the morning of his passing. His untimely death has left a somber cloud over the university as they remember and honor the life of a promising young individual taken too soon.
