WBRZ-TV in Baton Rouge is reporting LSU backup quarterback Colin Hurley crashed into a tree during the overnight hours near the south gates of LSU’s campus on Highland Road.
Officials say Hurley was breathing but was in and out of consciousness and had a large cut on his face.
Authorities do not know the cause of the crash, but investigators do not believe Hurley was impaired. The accident happened around 2:45 AM.
The 17-year-old from Jacksonville, Florida, redshirted this past season and is the third string QB behind Garrett Nussmeier and Mississippi State transfer Michael Van Buren.
Here’s a statement from Colin Hurley’s family:
Colin would like to thank the first responders, the incredible doctors and nurses at Our Lady of the Lake Health and the many Tiger Fans for their care and compassion. Colin is resting and is stable while more tests and care are being administered. We are confident that Colin will make a full recovery from this terrible accident.
