Major update on LSU QB Colin Hurley revealed after 17-year-old found ‘unresponsive’ following horror crash

LSU backup quarterback Colin Hurley is ‘stable’ after a horror crash on the school’s campus, his family announced. 

The 17-year-old was left injured after crashing his car into a tree on the school’s campus early on Thursday morning.  

The freshman was found unresponsive but breathing after being pulled out of his vehicle by firefighters, according to Baton Rouge news station WBRZ. 

His family issued an update on Hurley’s condition Thursday evening, assuring fans the Tigers star would make a recovery. 

‘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,’ the statement, shared via ESPN’s Pete Thamel, read. 

‘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. Geaux Tigers!’

Hurley is said to have crashed his Dodge Charger into a tree at South Quad Drive and Highland Road, near the south gates of LSU’s campus.

The cause of the crash is yet to be released, though officials reportedly believe impairment was not suspected. No further details have been made available.

A crash report says the college football player drifted in and out of consciousness and had a large cut on his face. 

DailyMail.com has reached out to LSU’s football program and the Baton Rouge Police Department for more information. 

Hurley, a freshman out of Jacksonville, Florida , was only 16 when he enrolled in the school to begin his college football career.

After serving as understudy to Garrett Nussmeier and Michael Van Buren for the Tigers in 2024, he will enter his second season with LSU later this year.

The teenager was the No. 25 quarterback from the Class of 2024, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.

He is believed to have picked LSU over the likes of Alabama, Florida and Arkansas.
