A North Texas community is grieving the loss of a former high school football standout who died Thursday, five days after suffering a traumatic injury during a college football game in Arkansas.

Tyler Ulrich, a former Azle High School player and sophomore safety at Southern Nazarene University, was injured Saturday during a game against Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, about 65 miles southwest of Little Rock.
