Wasn't he involved in the Tenn. Tech Drew Hixon injury?

What ever happened with that Hixon kid?

Wow...that is sad to hear.

Stunning.  I'm from Charlotte County and watched him play HS ball and then at USF.  Great guy.  Nothing in the local paper regarding funeral arrangements.

Prayers go out to Javon, his family, and the USF community.

May God watch over him and his family at this sad time.

Javon Camon

DAYTONA BEACH - A former University of South Florida football player passed away Monday night from injuries sustained in a World Indoor Football League game played at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach.

Javon Camon, a defensive back with the Daytona Beach Thunder, was pronounced dead at the Hallifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach. The 25-year-old former USF Bulls defensive captain was injured late in the fourth quarter of the Thunder's 44-42 loss to the Columbus Lions.

Camon, who led the Bulls in tackles during the 2004 season, went down after he was blocked by Lions wide receiver Juval Winston. The game was delayed for approximately 25 minutes while emergency medical service technicians attempted to resuscitate him.

An official cause of death has not been released. Camon was a four-year letterman at USF and a graduate of Charlotte High School in Port Charlotte. On September 11, 2004 he was involved in a play that left Tennessee Tech wide receiver Drew Hixon in a coma.
