Camdan McWright, a player on the San Jose State football team, died after being hit by a school bus when he was riding an electric scooter, authorities confirmed Friday.

The university said it is cooperating with the California Highway Patrol, the San Jose Police Department, SJSU Student Affairs and SJSU Athletics in the aftermath of the death.

"We lost an amazing young man tragically this morning," San Jose State Spartans coach Brent Brennan said. "Camdan had a bright future ahead of him, and everyone in this community that had the opportunity to spend time with him knew that. We are still trying to deal with the news of this tragedy and appreciate everyone's support during these difficult times. Our thoughts and prayers are with the McWright family, and I want them to know we are all here for them. Camdan will always be in our hearts, and he will be profoundly missed."
