Thoughts and Prayers for Devon Walker
Not to be a downer today, but as a Tulane alum, I wanted to ask everyone to keep Devon Walker in your thoughts; and if you're the praying sort, please do so. The Senior Safety suffered a head-to-head collision and stopped breathing on the field. EMTs performed CPR and he was transported to the hospital, apparently in stable condition, but no further news has been forthcoming. He's a good kid majoring in cell and molecular biology. It's a tragic reminder of how dangerous this game can be. Again, thoughts and prayers for Devon. Here's hoping he can recover.

Broke his neck, and had to be resuscitated on the field, after he stopped breathing. Terrible. Bless him.

Really, really, really hope you're wrong. They said pretty much the same thing about Taliaferro's injury, and he's walking today, so there's hope.
I hope his teammate is getting support, too. I can't even imagine how awful it must be to know that you almost paralyzed a teammate.

I spent 7 years in the Marine Corps and seeing that makes me wanna cry. It's terrible that something like that happens to a kid with his whole life ahead of him.

As a coach you never want to see this happen to one of your players, or an opposing player. That's one of the reasons we always tell our players to respect their opponents. We are all brothers in the game we all love. Thoughts and prayers.

Wishing him rest and recovery. Miracles can happen - just ask Elliott Mealer.

The play looks so routine, it's scary. Thoughts for him and his family.
September 8th, 2012 at 7:05 PM ^
and nothing life threatening has come of this. So scary and my thoughts are with him.
