LSU Reserve QB Colin Hurley Hospitalized and Stable After Early-Morning Car Accident
Louisiana State University (LSU) backup quarterback Colin Hurley was involved in a car accident early this morning, prompting an outpouring of concern from the LSU community. According to university officials, Hurley was rushed to a local hospital following the crash but is currently in stable condition.
The incident occurred at approximately 4:00 AM near the campus in Baton Rouge. While the details surrounding the accident are still being investigated by local authorities, sources close to the situation reported that Hurley’s vehicle collided with another car. First responders arrived quickly on the scene, providing immediate medical attention before transporting Hurley to the hospital.
At this time, LSU has refrained from releasing further specifics about the circumstances of the crash, respecting the privacy of Hurley and his family. However, the university issued a statement this morning, acknowledging the accident and confirming that Hurley is receiving the necessary care.
“We are grateful to report that Colin Hurley is stable and undergoing treatment,” said LSU head coach Brian Kelly in a statement. “Our thoughts are with him and his family during this time. We ask that everyone respect their privacy as they focus on his recovery.”
Hurley, a highly regarded freshman quarterback, has been a standout on the LSU roster. Though he has not yet seen significant game time this season as a backup to starter Jayden Daniels, Hurley is seen as a promising talent for the future of LSU football. His skill set and potential were key factors in his recruitment, and he has been working diligently to develop under the guidance of the coaching staff.
The LSU football program has shown tremendous support for Hurley, with players and coaches expressing their well wishes across social media. His teammates have rallied around him, offering messages of encouragement and prayers for his swift recovery.
This is the second high-profile incident involving an LSU player in recent months. Last year, multiple football players faced injuries during the season, which led to increased focus on player safety and wellness within the program.
As of now, the LSU athletics department has not specified when Hurley might be able to return to team activities, but the priority remains his health and well-being. The university will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
The LSU community is hopeful for a full recovery and looks forward to Hurley’s eventual return to the field.
