A former Bucknell University strength and conditioning coach, Mark Kulbis, is charged in connection with the 2024 death of freshman football player Calvin “CJ” Dickey Jr., according to a Pennsylvania attorney general statement and court documents. The case centers on allegations that hazing occurred during Dickey’s first workout with the team. Prosecutors say Dickey collapsed during that workout and later died. The charges include a felony aggravated hazing count, reflecting the state’s view that the alleged conduct went beyond routine conditioning or training. CBS Sports also reports that Kulbis faces additional misdemeanor charges. Those include involuntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment, and hazing related to the same death. The filings and statements describe the matter as tied to the circumstances surrounding the workout in 2024, and the charges are brought against Kulbis in his former role with the football program. The reports do not provide further details on the defense or any court dates in the cited material.
