A high school football player that was set to continue his career at Louisville was shot and killed late Saturday night in Orlando, according to multiple reports.

Dexter Rentz, a wide receiver at Ocoee High School, was one of four people shot, but the 18-year-old was the only one to die.

“We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Dexter Rentz,” Louisville coach Scott Satterfield said in a statement. “He was a great young man who had a contagious personality, and was able to light up a room with his smile. He was a great kid to be around and he will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Rentz family during this extremely difficult time.”

Rentz was a three-star recruit, according to Rivals, and signed with Louisville in December. The team captain, who set a state record with five interceptions in one game and was also a track star, was set to enroll in June along with high school teammate Lovie Jenkins. Jenkins was among those to post a tribute to Rentz early Sunday morning.

Josh Minkins, another Louisville signee who was set to room with Rentz, also remembered him in a tweet.

“I’m over here hurt typing this, all the conversations we had and the time when you came to The Ville and I first met you I knew you was destined for big things,” Minkins wrote. “It’s crazy we was about to be roommates and all, I hate they took you from us dawg. I’ll make sure you name lives on.”
