OWINGS MILLS, Md. — We are learning more about the student who passed away Wednesday morning at Franklin High School.
Leslie Noble, 16, died following a medical emergency on the football field.
AGoFundMewas started for Noble's family to help cover funeral costs.
"Leslie was known for his outgoing personality and his talents on and off the football field. His infectious laughter, his unwavering love for his family and friends, and his bright future ahead of him has been cut short. He loved his mother and his siblings unconditionally," said Tekeiska Perry, a family friend who organized the fundraiser.
Franklin High School principal Kieran O'Connell released a statement following the tragedy:
