New Update On CFB Player Transported To Hospital Last Night

October 8, 2021 by The Spun

Samy Johnson

It was a frightening scene at last night’s game between Arkansas State and No. 15 Coastal Carolina as Arkansas State defensive back Samy Johnson was stretchered off and taken to the hospital.

Johnson was injured while chasing down a Coastal Carolina running back. The game was stopped for 10 minutes as trainers attended to him. They reportedly removed his jersey and pads to get him onto the stretcher. All the while, Johnson’s teammates stood huddled around him.

Thankfully, all of the updates afterwards were largely positive. Arkansas State head coach Butch Jones seemed optimistic after the game.

But on Friday, Johnson himself offered an update – much to the relief of fans. Taking to Twitter, he thanked everyone for their support and said he’s “doing okay.”

“Thanks for all of the prayers everyone. Just wanted to let everyone know im doing ok and I greatly appreciate everyone!” Johnson wrote.
