Classmates Remember DeMatha Football Player Rico Webb

HYATTSVILLE, Md. (WUSA) -- On Monday, an emotional memorial service was held for a rising football star who died suddenly after complaining of chest problems this weekend.

Rico Webb was called "the gentle giant." The 6'7," 365 pound offensive lineman stood out as a powerhouse on the field, but was kind and mild-mannered in the hallways of Dematha High School where his classmates remembered him in tears and in laughs.

The high school senior left school Saturday with some flu-like symptoms.

Later that night he complained of chest pains and died at the hospital.

Webb had a bright future ahead of him, just signing a full scholarship to play ball at Alabama State.

An autopsy is being conducted to determine the exact cause of Webb's death.
