would normally be funny... but not here.

 

That's terrible.  I feel for the young man.  But next man up.  Good thing we did get Macon.

As someone with residual neck injuries in my 50's (likely from my football years) my advice to him is take care of yourself.

Going back some years I was talking with Phil McGeoghan, our WR coach.  His neck was a mess.  Believe he was still in his 20s at the time and said that if he ever had kids no way he'd let them play fo

Sorry to hear his football life is over. I have to think that this was not a surprise/shock or at least the coaching staff was preparing someone solid to fill his shoes. They need good backups at every position so with any luck the team can find a way. He was an important player to this defense-- hard to replace.

Did we ever learn exactly what the injury is? Neck injury isn't very specific. 

Typically serious neck injuries like this in football are related to spinal stenosis. I don't want to assume but this seems very possible. Basically the nerves in the neck get pinched by the bone and cause frequent and severe "stingers".

This is definitely a blow to our Defense this year.  Bad news all around.

Wish Mr. Sawtelle all the best for his future outside of football and that he heals up soon!

It creates depth issues at MLB and LB in general. We now have the 3 starters (2 starters an a sub when we run the Nickle), and the next guys listed on the depth chart are TRUE FRESHMAN. We have 8 other LBs on the roster (1 junior, the rest Redshirt Freshman or Sophomores) and they weren't performing at a level to make the 2 deep. We will need guys like Trey Laing and Andrew Mims to perform well in order to be successful this season at the LB position.

This really sucks for the kid has he has been a great teammate and leader from everything we've seen.   I know he'll be there helping to coach up Macon because that's just the kind of guy he is.

Truly sad.  At this time only concerned about wishing him all the best and an unimpaired future.

Get well young man. Make your life long, prosperous and pain free. I hope he can return to play, if he can do it safely.
