Former Hurricane tight end Kevin Everett suffered a serious spinal cord injury today and is currently undergoing emergency surgery in Buffalo according to published reports.
Big E took a vicious hit during a kick return and was carted off the field. Keep him in your prayers and keep your fingers crossed for him.








I'm remembering you in my prayers Kevin.
Sure hope and pray that you will be OK!
Maureen (Denver native and Bronco fan.)

Sure does but the OU loss in perspective. I prefer Miami go 0-12 this year, with all of them 51-13, just to be 100% sure Kevin Everett will be walking and healthy again.

It may just be me, but I'm surprised UM hasn't said anything publicly, especially with the relationship they portray with their student and alumni base.
(and yes, I'm an alum also)
