Doing all of the occupational rehabilitation. It’s just a slow process. But everything is coming back. It’s just a slow, slow process.”

Would be awesome if he was able to suit up just to run out on the field on senior day if he was able. I would absolutely love that.

I hope LSU does right by him. He has chance finish his college education for free. It would be amazing story if he will return to field.

He could possibly return to school but returning to baseline athleticism, sadly, is not possible with this prognosis. It’s extremely rare to progress to where he is now. Keep up the prayers.
