The Utah State football player who suffered cardiac arrest during practice last week suffered a seizure-like episode a year ago, official said. But at school today, Josh Davis thanked family and his team for their support.
"A week ago, I was lying on the field fighting for my life," said Davis at a press conference Thursday,"and now I'm able to walk into this room and talk to all of you."
Davis himself said he doesn't remember much in the days after his collapse, but some moments stuck with him. During the briefing, officials revealed that Davis had suffered a seizure-like medical episode a year ago. Now, following last week's issue, the redshirt freshman receiver knows he may not play football again, but appeared to be comfortable with that decision.
Davis's parents, Matt and Chrissy, thanked the Aggie family for all the support while their son was hospitalized.
