Friends and Family Give Update On John Youngblood’s Injury
Many have been asking about Ole Miss defensive end John Youngblood since his injury Saturday. In a Facebook post this morning, Mary Frances Stephens said:
“Thank you everyone for caring so deeply for John, his family and me. We are so glad to report that John is in the comfort of his own home after surgery and on the road to recovery.
“On Saturday after dislocating his ankle, the doctors came to a conclusion that he had a spiral fracture in his fibula, broke the bone that is located between his achilles and ankle, as well as tore the ligaments holding the tibia and fibula together.
“Surgery on Sunday morning went well. They cleaned out the debris from the dislocation and repaired the ligament damage. It was a long painful night Saturday and Sunday, but he feels comfort knowing that he has the love and support from everyone around him. We are so thankful for the prayers, for the doctors and prayers for strength from our Rebel family. Dr. Luber and Oxford Orthopedics, thank you so much for being so good to John and giving him the best care. Thank you to the hospital staff, coaching staff and players for caring for him during his stay at Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi. #RebsTogether #RiseUp”

John, so glad you are a Rebel. You have set the perfect example for younger kids to follow. I certainly hope my grandsons pattern themselves after you.

John,
You are a great example setter on and off the field giving younger players someone to model themselves after. Best of luck in your recovery, and many thanks for your contributions on and off the field.
