"The Amplus community sends our love and condolences to the Brister family as well as to all of Jordan's family, friends and acquaintances," the post reads.

A GoFundMe made in memory of the student — identified as Jordan Tyler Brister — says he reportedly suffered a sudden cardiac arrest "with no explanation why."

This death comes after another high school student — 16-year-old Ashari Hughes — also collapsed and died during a flag football game at Desert Oasis High School.

The page also says that Brister was a senior and planned on joining the military after graduating high school.
