An update on my son, Colt (09/13/25)

As most of you know, my oldest son, Colt, suffered a severe spleen injury during a routine football practice play on November 05, 2024. We saw him be airlifted to Cook Children’s in Fort Worth, where he was given 11 units of blood and it left him hospitalized for about a month.

It was a long road of recovery and he was finally cleared to play football… until he wasn’t. 

In July he suffered another setback, where he had an infection that affected his previous injury and was held out of any contact until last week. 

Last night he took to the field for the first time since that accident and is now playing a S/LB hybrid role, plus being used on kickoffs and returns.

316 days between last night and the last time he played in a game.

    Congrats! Was hoping to see him play in Llano last week, but this is awesome to see. Good luck to y'all and Comanche!

    He had about 8 tackles, a fumble recovery and also should have had a scoop and score… his DC was all over him about that, despite us being up 42-14. 🤣

    God is good.

    That's fantastic, Blake!  You have any videos you can post or maybe show us on Coffee and Football?

    Congratulations on a great recovery.

    I am the father of three grown boys and I can't imagine the stress that you and your wife went through. 

    Here's to good times ahead!
