Missouri State announced Saturday morning that football player Todric McGee died early Saturday at a local hospital from injuries he sustained on Friday at his local residence.
He was 21.
A Springfield Police spokesperson said officers responded to a check well-being call on Friday morning, where McGee was located with a “possible accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound.” He was then transported to the hospital. The investigation is ongoing.
McGee, a native of Wichita, Kansas, had been one of the best players on Missouri State’s roster over the last three seasons.
His 2024 season was cut short after sustaining a season-ending injury five games into the year. He still finished eighth on the team in total tackles and earned one MVFC Player of the Week nod. McGee was entering his senior year with the Bears and was expected to have a major role as the program heads into its first season in Conference USA.
Missouri State athletic director Patrick Ransdell said in a release that grief counseling services are now available for staff and student-athletes.
