Former Miami running back Tyrone Moss has died at the age of 33, the team said.

The cause of Moss' death has yet to be disclosed to the public.

"It's a total shock," Steve Davis, Moss' high school coach, told Christy Cabrera Chirinos of the Sun Sentinel. "He was, by far, the best player I've ever coached at the high school level. You had defenses and everybody that we played, all 11 guys knew he was going to get the ball. He'd still have 250 yards. You just couldn't figure it out."

Moss accumulated 1,942 yards and 26 touchdowns during his four seasons with the Hurricanes. He led the team with 701 yards and 12 touchdowns as a junior in 2005, earning All-ACC honors.
