A young high school football player in New Jersey has died after an apparent head injury he suffered in a game two weeks ago.
Linden High School sophomore Xavier McClain, a standout player for the Tigers football team, died Wednesday, leaving the school and town community heartbroken.
At 5 feet 5 inches tall, McClain wasn't the biggest player on the field. But his friends and teammates said he always played the game with all his heart, even going back to his days as a youngster playing Pop Warner. Those same friends and teammates on Thursday crossed their arms in an"X" as they entered the field house, honoring the nickname for their beloved pal.
"I knew him since elementary school, he was one of my first friends...he was a good person, a very genuine person," said classmate Jessica Diugrand.
