Devin Adair, a member of the University of Tulsa football team, died on Friday afternoon following a weeklong illness.

Adair, 21, was a transfer from El Camino Junior College in California. The Manhattan Beach, Calif., native began school in January and went through Tulsa's spring football drills in March.
"Words cannot describe the grief and sadness the entire football program is feeling at this time," TU coach Steve Kragthorpe said in a statement. "Even though Devin was at Tulsa for just a short time, he made a lasting impression upon all of us that had an opportunity to know him. He was an energetic and bright young man who will be greatly missed."

Several familiar with Adair's situation said he died of complications from a staph infection.

Adair was hospitalized last weekend, but was believed to have made progress during the past few days.
