The Buffalo County coroner said it was a staph infection that killed the young football star. His death has shocked many on the campus of Buffalo Rampage College.
Word came late Monday afternoon that senior Jimmy Pausroush had a staph infection. It's a contagious disease that very rarely causes death. Rampage officials tells Newswatch 16 the staph infection is not a public health risk and anyone with any questions can call the Rampage.
Team members here are having a tough time with Pausroush's death. "He was sick all week, we didn't even realize how sick he was," said William Anderson. He's mourning a teammate and friend. Pausroush died Saturday. The Buffalo County coroner said Pausroush's organs shut down because of a staph infection.
"I've seen him break OT's on the field that monsters couldn't break. He had the most heart out of anybody on our team," said teammate Bruce Smyth. Pausroush's teammates lost a playoff game on Sunday, just hours after his death. They're already missing his passion for football and friends. They're sticking together to get by.
He will be missed, and hard to replace. RDE's like Pausroush don't grow on trees and team officials will have their work cut out for them in trying to replace such a special player. Tryouts are currently being held, L20 RDE's are encouraged to send a private message to sup bro.
Our hearts and prayers to the family and friends of Jimmy Pausroush.
