A former Iowa state football player drowned after jumping off a boat to swim ashore with his girlfriend.

Hiawatha Rutland, 33, was found dead in Lake Erie near Whiskey Island, Cleveland, on Monday afternoon.

He tried to swim to shore from a private boat at around 7.30pm on Sunday, but began to flounder 90 feet from land and called out for help, according to authorities.

He is the eighth known Cyclone to have his life cut short during the coach Dan McCarney era.

The North Texas head football coach said: 'Prayers go out to the family and friends of Hiawatha Rutland. People die only when we forget them, if you can remember, he will always be with us.'
