Florida high school football legend Sam Bruce who played briefly for the Miami Hurricanes dies at age 24.
Bruce’s death was announced by his former high school St. Thomas Aquinas on Thursday.
“R.I.P. Sam Bruce! We Will Miss You and We Love You !” the St. Thomas Aquinas Raiders football wrote on Facebook.
However, his cause of death has not been revealed.
The 24-year-old, Bruce was a high school standout, earning the nickname “The Samborghini”.
From 2014 to 2015, he helped the Raiders win a back-to-back state championship.
He left St. Thomas Aquinas in 2016, transferring to Westlake Prep, where he would play the remainder of his high school days.
Bruce earned a four-star rating and received dozens of scholarship offers but signed with the Miami Hurricanes in 2016.
But Bruce did not play in a game for the ‘Canes as he was dismissed for violations of team rules just months into his freshman season.
Bruce went on to attend Mississippi Gulf Coast C.C. and Southeastern University and later played for the Indoor Football League.
