A 17-year-old Wisconsin high school football player died Saturday from injuries he suffered during a game last Thursday, according to the school district.<\/p>\n

Adam Massman, a senior quarterback at Lincoln Junior\/Senior High School in Alma Center, Wis., reportedly sustained the injuries during a game against Turtle Lake.<\/p>\n

Specific details on the injury he suffered have not been release, but his mother, Brianne, said he suffered a helmet-to-helmet blow during the game.<\/p>\n

On-site EMTs attended to Massman before being transported to the hospital, and he died two days later, according to a message sent by school district superintendent Drew Semingson.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, no one would ever think something that severe would really happen,\u201d she told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. \u201cWe\u2019re just completely devastated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Massman\u2019s obituary describes him as \u201cstrong and spirited, yet quiet by nature\u201d who could take the most mundane of moments and fill them with laughter.<\/p>\n

His family said he enjoyed working with animals, \u201cgoing shining with the boys,\u201d attending cattle shows, participating in sports and playing around with his brother Brett.<\/p>\n

He won the Bred and Owned (homegrown) Beef Steer at the Wisconsin State Fair in 2025, per the obituary.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe worked hard at sports. He worked hard at school, he worked hard at cattle, he worked hard at so many things,\u201d Brianne told the outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd in his 17 years, it\u2019s amazing all of the things that he\u2019s able to accomplish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Massman played for the Linconln football, basketball, baseball and golf teams, per MaxPreps.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s credited with 1,138 total yards last season while serving as the team\u2019s quarterback, throwing for 858 yards and 10 touchdowns and rushing for 280 and adding three scores.<\/p>\n

Massman also added one interception and 12 total tackles.<\/p>\n

His football teammates honored him by painting his parking spot, adding the inscription \u201cLLA,\u201d for \u201cLong Live Adam,\u201d plus images of his family\u2019s cattle operation and tire tracks from his vehicle, per weau.com.<\/p>\n

On the diamond, he batted .268 across 13 games last year.<\/p>\n

MaxPreps lists Massman as appearing in just two basketball games last year, and he earned 2025 WBCA Boys Basketball Academic All-State honors in 2025.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cOur home will never be the same,\u201d the obituary states. \u201cOur hearts are here but they are broken. We\u2019ll remember Adam and love him, but our hearts will ache because he\u2019s not here. And yet, somehow, our hearts will also remain full because we did have him for 17 wonderful and perfect years.\u201d<\/p>\n

A funeral service will happen Saturday at the high school, and the family has been touched by the support they\u2019ve received.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have to just come together when there\u2019s a tragedy,\u201d Brianne told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. \u201cLet\u2019s keep it going \u2026 that\u2019s the best thing that people can do to honor Adam.\u201d<\/p>\n
