Seven high school football players from McMinnville (Ore.) were rushed to the hospital during a football camp run by former Los Angeles Loyola Coach Jeff Kearin, according to a report by KGW.com.

Kearin, who resigned last year at Loyola and took over at McMinnville, was running a camp in which players stayed overnight and attended several practices each day.

Kearin also previously coached at Cal State Northridge.

Update: Three more players have been hospitalized. The district superintendent said she does not believe the injuries were a result of the workouts being conducted.. Players are being tested for Creatine, a supplement.
