South Florida running back Keeley Dorsey died yesterday after collapsing during a team conditioning workout at the school's athletic facility. The 19-year-old freshman died at University Community Hospital. He was given first aid before he was taken to the hospital, the school said in a statement.

"I hurt for Keeley. I hurt for Keeley's parents. I hurt for our team," coach Jim Leavitt said. "Keeley was a tremendous person. He was always upbeat and an inspiration to me and all of us. He had a great impact on our team, and he will be sorely missed." Leavitt was in West Palm Beach on a recruiting trip and returned to campus to join his players. Dorsey rushed for 68 yards on 10 carries in 2006. In other college football news: ** Penn State tackle Levi Brown, tailback Tony Hunt...
