Sources who were present said Lealaimatafao, a four-star recruit from San Antonio, Texas, was upset about a disagreement with his girlfriend, and punched the window between the weight room and indoor practice facility. The sources said the glass "tore through" Lealaimatafao's bicep and they could see the bone underneath.

He was immediately taken to an area hospital and is being treated for the injury, Bonnette said. Bonnette said there was no danger of amputation as previously reported.

According to The Advocate, Lealaimatafao punched through the window after a dispute with another football player, two independent sources said.

He received stitches at the hospital and the injury will likely require surgery. The injury is not life threating but could keep the freshman sidelined during this upcoming season.
