Rutgers University football player, Eric LeGrand, was paralyzed from the neck down after making a violent tackle during Saturday’s game against Army.
The tackle came on a kickoff return and it appears the junior player ducked his head down as he made the tackle.
LeGrand had surgery to stabalize his spine and is currently in intensive care at Hackensack University Medical Center.
Both teams knelt down in prayer and support as LeGrand was being treated on the field at the New Meadowlands Stadium. Rutgers ended up winning the game in overtime, 23-20, but their win took a backseat to the concern over their injured player.
My prayers go out to LeGrand, his family, and the entire Rutgers University team.
