Frankie Telfort (Class of 2009)

That really sucks for him. I wonder if he will continue to go to USC or go elsewhere. I hope that it isn't life-threatening, and he can go on with his regular life outside of football.

Fortunately for him, he is a very good student and one of the guys who will be able to thrive without football.

That sucks, feel bad for the guy. Still, it is good they caught this before a tragedy occurred. Hopefully, he can lead a long and healthy life.

Yeah, I think cases like this and Delvin Breaux's are what medical hardships are meant for.

I was just curious to see if he would consider going elsewhere. I know that my decision process would be totally different if I knew I wouldn't be playing D-1 football. USC is certainly a good school though.

Really unfortunate, but glad they caught it. Wish him the best.

That is really a shame because this kid had some great skills and athleticism. He was one guy, no matter if he had signed with us or another school, that I was looking forward to following over the next couple of years.

If I remember correctly, he wanted to be a pharmacist or something like that. Maybe this will lead to him turning his studies to cardiology to help others with this?

Glad they caught it early before something happened to the young man. Good luck to him and his studies.

terrible...but Frankie has tremendous academics and aspirations off the field, so he'll make a good living doing something else

That's what I like to hear- kids using their scolly & pushing for a degree...we need more of this- not everyone, in fact, most, will never see the professional ranks...nice to be able to fall back on a college degree.
