\"I know I speak for the entire East River High community when I express the grief felt at the loss of one of our own,\" she wrote. \"My thoughts and prayers are with this student's family and friends as they go through this extremely difficult time.\"

The high school had grief counselors on campus Monday \"for any student or staff member who needs to speak with someone about this loss,\" the high school wrote on Twitter.

A memorial has been started at the crash site in Orange County, according to a report.

\"It's a brotherhood, and Nick was like the leader of the brotherhood,\" one of his teammates, Cole Strawder, told Orlando ABC affiliate WFTV9. \"He went out doing what he was always doing. Helping people out and being a leader.\"

The Florida Highway Patrol said there is still an active investigation and charges are pending.
