UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton not only sustained a traumatic right knee injury against South Florida, he also injured a nerve and had blood flow issues as a result, his family said in a statement released Tuesday.

"His blood flow has been restored to his right leg and his nerve is injured but intact," the family said in the statement. "He is recovering and healing and is receiving the best medical care. At a later time, he will have reconstructive surgery to repair his knee.

"... McKenzie and our entire family are so touched and grateful for the prayers, support, and well wishes. McKenzie is in good spirits and has a very positive attitude. He looks forward to cheering on his teammates in their quest for another conference championship this Saturday."

I’ve been following this story closely since it happened.
I’m still feeling unsettled about it.
But I’m so relieved to hear that the vascular issues have been addressed.
This young man has a long road ahead of him, but he seems like the kind of soul who will turn tragedy into triumph.

This is rough Wonder what the nerve damage is now. Does he have drop foot due to it. I played basketball with a guy who messed up his knee badly in a game. 6 years later still has to wear a knee brace and has drop foot issues due to the nerve damage.

Took Jaylon Smith two years to get where he is now with Dallas.

Coaches are just now saying he is back to the level he was pre-injury at ND. Nerve damage is not guaranteed to heal at all, so it’s literally up to God or whatever he wants to put faith in at this point.
