Ethan Dietz, a sophomore at Connors State College in Warner, Oklahoma, was injured during the second half of a school game against Grayson College in Denison, Texas, according to the New York Post.
College officials said in a statement that Dietz suffered a head injury, but more precise details were not released, according to the New York Post.
“The Cowboy family has suffered an unimaginable loss… Ethan exemplified what it means to be a Cowboy, to value hard work and being part of a team,” Connors State College said in a statement. “While the team and the Cowboy community are processing our own grief, our hearts go out to his family and friends.”
The men’s basketball program asked fans to ” keep the Dietz Family, 2025-2026 Cowboys, Coaches and Support Staff in your prayers as we navigate this difficult time.”
The 6-foot-8 forward is from Conway and played basketball at Vilonia High School before joining the Connors State program. He was averaging 11 points a game over his eight games this season.
A vigil is scheduled for Dec. 1 at the college campus in Warner, Oklahoma.
