So far, all the deaths have been in conditioning drills.
So far.

What if you son had sickle cell?
I'd claim that the proposed HUNH rule is a reasonable modification for a disability as required by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Title II of the ADA.
So far.

The symptoms of sickling are fatigue, difficulty breathing, lower extremity weakness, cramping or spasms. If the athlete, coach, and the athletic trainer are educated to recognize the symptoms, the athlete can be withdrawn from the exercise and be allowed the opportunity to recover without likelihood of any harm.
However, if the athlete continues to be pushed through these symptoms, the restricted blood flow will result in a breakdown in skeletal muscle, called rhabdomyolysis. This releases toxins into the bloodstream that can affect the kidneys and heart. If the rhabdomyolysis is explosive, the toxins can stop the heart even before the kidneys fail, causing death in an hour or less.
If the rhabdomyolysis isn't explosive, there can still be kidney failure, an increase in the level of potassium in the blood, followed by cardiac arrhythmia and ultimately death.

Trying way too hard.
The Hurry up could be 'fixed' by making substitutions more difficult to do.
That way the incentive to 'catch' a defense mid sub isn't there anymore.

When do these deaths occur?
NM I just saw in the article where all 20 deaths happened during conditioning drills or pre season practices. Non attributed to a game time situation.

What if he was an asthmatic with sickle cell? And had a baby seal as pet? And rescued puppies? The HUNH must be stopped!

Fine work, doctor. You are rapidly advancing the field of sports medicine.
