Alabama football player Aaron Douglas has been found dead near Jacksonville, Fla.

The death was confirmed by his former high school coach George Quarles of Maryville (Tenn.), according to the Knoxville News-Sentinel. Quarles texted the following message to the paper.

"Yes he is dead I cannot talk right now but am deeply saddened by this tragedy."

Alabama has not commented on the news.

According to his Twitter site, Douglas, 21, flew to Jacksonville on Tuesday. The junior had just finished his first semester at Alabama

Former Crimson Tide quarterback Greg McElroy expressed his condolences on his Twitter account.

"RIP Aaron Douglas. Enjoyed what little time I spent with you and I know you will be watching over us."

Douglas was expected to compete for a starting spot at offensive tackle this fall after participating in spring practice in Tuscaloosa. He spent last season at Western Arizona Community College after starting 10 games and earning freshman All-America honors at Tennessee.

A Tennessee native, his father David, played football for the Volunteers and his mother, Karla, was a member of the school's basketball team for three seasons.
