Austin‑Travis County Emergency Medical Services arrived on scene and initiated advanced life support. The teen experienced a reported seizure, prompting the dispatch of a STARFlight helicopter. The player was airlifted to Dell Children's Medical Center, where he was listed in critical condition.
Team Response Amid Heat Wave
The following morning, Lake Travis ISD executive director Marco Alvarado confirmed that the athlete remained under medical care but declined to release his name or specific location.
