"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Buffalo defensive end/linebacker Solomon Jackson died Monday night, the school announced.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jackson, 20, died exactly one week after a \u2018medical emergency\u2019 that occurred during a team conditioning session and had kept him hospitalized in critical condition. No cause of death has been released.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The school will hold a moment of silence before the men\u2019s basketball game Tuesday night.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Buffalo athletic director Allen Greene wrote a statement addressing Jackson\u2019s death, which you can read below.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;\u201CIt is with deep sadness that I write to share that we have lost one of our own, UB football player Solomon Jackson, who passed away last night. Our heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies go out to Solomon\u2019s family as together we mourn his tragic and untimely death.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;\u201CFrom the outpouring of prayers and support over the past week since Solomon was hospitalized, it has been abundantly clear just how many lives he touched on a daily basis through his contributions and character\u2014as an athlete, as a student, as a friend and mentor to others, and as an active and engaged member of our campus community. As a redshirt-sophomore defensive end from Stone Mountain, Georgia who was pursuing a degree in sociology, Solomon demonstrated tremendous promise as a student-athlete, both on and off the field.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;\u201CPresident Tripathi and I visited Solomon and his family early last week at the hospital, and from our visit it was clear Solomon was a young man of great character and integrity. He held these values at a very early age and brought them to all he undertook. He was active in his community and in his church\u2014a genuinely kind spirit who was devoted to his family and to the well-being of people around him.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;\u201CAll of us who had the pleasure and good fortune of knowing Solomon will remember him as a truly bright light on the field, in the classroom and around campus. We will remember him for his love of the game and his love of life. The best way we can honor his memory is for each of us to keep those values close in our own lives.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;\u201CAs Solomon\u2019s family prepares to make memorial and funeral arrangements, we will share more information as it becomes available. In the meantime, I know I am joined by Coach Leipold, the football staff and the entire Athletics family in expressing my deepest personal sympathies to Solomon\u2019s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.\u201D&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jackson played all 12 games last season as a redshirt sophomore, making 13 tackles and two sacks.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
