2019 LSU commit and Oxford (Ala.) inside linebacker Kendall McCallum is undergoing heart surgery on next Monday, according to a report from The Anniston Star Tuesday afternoon. The report from Joe Medley said that the 6-3, 230-pound linebacker posted on Snapchat that he'll have "heart surgery next Monday."

"All prayers needed," the No. 21 overall inside linebacker said in the post, according to The Anniston Star.

His high school coach, Ryan Herring, said the senior had "asthma issues" last week and that things are still up in the air as far as surgery.

“If he’s got an issue, he will have,” Herring told The Anniston Star. “They may have to put heart cath (catheter) in on Monday. They have a heart monitor on him now. I hope everything is going to be OK.”

Kind of a misnomer as you get a heart catheter inserted so you can visualize what is wrong with the heart. Not really heart surgery yet but it may end up that way depending on what they find (if he goes for a heart cath). Still at his age very concerning. Hopefully its something with a easy fix, prayers for him and his family.

The procedure isn't the worry. It's the why it is needed that is concerning.

Asthma has nothing to do with your heart but if your heart does not pump well you will develop shortness of breath. Most likely he has asthma got short of breath went to the doctor and something was found to need to look at his heart with a heartcath (my speculation only). Regardless, I pray for a quick, full recovery.

Healing prayers go out to you Kendall, and to your family and friends that love you and hold you dear. Remember that football is a game, but your health and the love and compassion that surrounds you is the really important stuff. A few years from now you'll understand the value and wisdom that comes from your current situation.
