Utah State cornerback Andre Seldon Jr. died of an apparent drowning at a Utah reservoir on Saturday, the school announced. He was 22.

Per the Cache County Sheriff’s Office, a search began Saturday afternoon at Porcupine Reservoir after Seldon was seen diving from cliffs and did not resurface.

Utah State officials said they learned he was found at 9:05 p.m. MT by the Utah Department of Public Safety dive team.

Seldon transferred to Utah State earlier this year after totaling 96 tackles and two interceptions over two seasons at New Mexico State. He played there under Nate Dreiling, Utah State’s interim head coach and defensive coordinator.

“Our football program is heartbroken to have to endure the loss of one of our own,” Dreiling said in a statement released by the school. “Having had a previous relationship with Andre during our time together at New Mexico State, I can tell you he was an incredible person and teammate. Our condolences and prayers go out to Andre’s family as we grieve with them over this tremendous loss.”

Seldon spent two seasons at Michigan prior to playing for New Mexico State.
