Todric McGee College Football Player Dead at 21 … Suspected Accidental Shooting
Published | Updated
A college football player in Missouri has died … and cops say they suspect an accidental gunshot wound was the cause.
Todric McGee — a four-year player at Missouri State — was hospitalized Friday after injuries sustained at his residence, according to the Missouri State Athletic Department.
The Springfield Police Department tells TMZ … they received a call about a wellness check Friday morning — arriving on scene to find a man later identified as McGee, who they believe sustained a “possible accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound.” We’re told he was transported to the hospital, where he passed away from his injuries Saturday.
McGee played safety with the Missouri State Bears from 2021-2024 and was entering his fifth year with the program.
He was named an All-Missouri Valley Football Conference player in 2023 and received several other honors during his tenure.
Rest easy young man 🐻 🏈
