LSU freshman quarterback Colin Hurley was found unconscious but breathing by LSU police and Baton Rouge firefighters shortly before 3 a.m. Thursday following a car crash near the gates of the LSU campus, according to an accident report.
Hurley was extricated from his Dodge Charger by EMS and firefighters and transported to a Baton Rouge area hospital.
The cause of the accident has not been released. LSU school officials said they were unable to comment because Hurley, 17, is still a minor. Hurley’s parents were on their way to Baton Rouge.
“We are working through the appropriate protocols with his family before we can comment,” Zach Greenwell, LSU’s senior associate athletic director and director of communications, told ESPN via text message.
Hurley, a native of Jacksonville, Fla., signed with LSU as part of the 2024 recruiting class and did not play this season as a true freshman.
