Do we know what exactly caused the heart attack? Was it a heart defect or did the impact of the hit mess with his heart's rhythm in some way or was it something else?

It was commotio cordis, which is the latter part of your question.

Thanks! I've heard of that happening to people getting hit in the chest with hockey pucks, golf balls, or tennis balls, but with the amount of hits in football, I'm honestly surprised it doesn't happen more often.
