One of the country’s top high school senior football recruits died in a fall from a motel balcony during Spring Break.
17-year-old Matt James of Cincinnati died Friday night after falling from the third floor balcony of the Days Inn Motel on Front Beach Road in Panama City Beach, Florida. Police said the initial indications are the teenager fell over the balcony railing of his motel room and, apparently, died instantly.
Police say they could not publicly confirm the identity of the teenager because relatives had not been formally notified. But WCPO-TV in Cincinnati indicates the victim was James.
He attended St. Xavier High School where he was a 6’7”, 280 pound offensive tackle. He had been recruited by Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, LSU, Florida State, Miami and North Carolina. He considered in-state schools, Cincinnati and Ohio State, before signing on with the Notre Dame on National Signing Day.
