Southeastern Oklahoma State University football player Dylan Sebock has died in a horrific rollover car accident that led to the arrest of his teammate.

Sebock was killed in the crash in Sherman, Texas, at the age of 23, his family confirmed to KXII 12.

The incident is said to have occurred at around 1am local time on Thursday, October 8, on US Highway 75 with Sebock and his teammate De’Taurean Johnson, who was driving, ejected from the vehicle.

Sherman Police responded to multiple calls about a one-vehicle rollover crash. Upon arriving at the scene, officers reportedly discovered the vehicle with extensive damage on the edge of the road.

Sebock, a rising senior defensive end for the Savage Storm, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Meanwhile, Johnson was initially discovered lying in the roadway. When a responding officer approached him, he allegedly got to his feet and attempted to flee on foot.

Southeastern Oklahoma State University released a statement on Thursday confirming that two of their students were involved in a ‘serious vehicle accident.’

‘Southeastern Oklahoma State University is aware of a serious vehicle accident involving two of our students,’ the university wrote in a statement via Facebook on Thursday.

‘We are deeply saddened to confirm that one student has died as a result of the accident. The other student was hospitalized. Our hearts are with their families, friends, teammates, and all those affected by this tragic loss.’

Sebock played defensive end and was coming off a season in which he was named third-team all-conference, recording 32 total tackles.

His aunt set up a GoFundMe page to support his family in paying for funeral costs and unexpected expenses stemming from the tragedy.

‘Anyone who knew Dylan knows that football was only one part of who he was,’ the fundraiser reads. ‘Dylan was goofy. He could make you laugh when you didn’t want to laugh. He loved joking around, being silly, and bringing his personality into a room. Behind that big defensive end was someone’s baby boy, a family member, a teammate, a friend, and a young man who had his entire life ahead of him.’

It added: ‘On the football field, Dylan was #97. He worked, sacrificed, practiced, competed, and formed bonds with teammates and coaches that became much bigger than the game itself. We were so proud of the young man and athlete he had become.’
