SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) -- A Wofford basketball player has drowned.

The school says rising junior Jeremiah Tate died early Monday in Lake Wylie near Charlotte, North Carolina.

A York County, South Carolina sheriff's office report states Tate and another man jumped from a bridge to swim, but Tate ''had trouble swimming and kept sinking'' when the other man tried to help.

The man swam to shore and asked a witness who was there fishing to call for help. Authorities found Tate's body below the bridge, according to the report.
