TCU QB Max Duggan once had a nine-hour heart surgery, then played just weeks later
on Friday, Duggan overcame a Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome diagnosis prior to the 2020 COVID-19-affected season. The doctors found the heart issue in a physical just before the season began that required the quarterback to undergo a nine-hour heart procedure. . “I had a nine-hour procedure. And then two days later, I had a blood clot from the surgery, so I had to go into emergency surgery right after that. It kind of just puts a stop in your life.
Duggan didn’t play at the beginning of the 2020 season, but came off the bench to throw three touchdown passes in a 34–31 loss that September. From there, Duggan seized the starting quarterback job and has been the Horned Frogs’ signal caller ever since. Duggan threw for 251 yards with one touchdown and one interception in Saturday’s loss, while adding 110 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
TCU didn’t quite secure the victory, but likely will end up in the playoff anyway thanks in large part to their quarterback who has overcome so much.
