C.Biscuit97 Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 WOW, that's sucks. I hope he gets a way to continue his career but most importantly, he gets to live a normal life. I know he's been linked to the Bills a lot. but the most important thing is he helped Michigan a lot of money! Never fault a football player for getting every penny they can.
CDogg20 Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Did the same thing happen to Star L a couple years ago? Seems like he’s been doing fine, hopefully Hurst turns out ok as well.

Unless a college athlete is injured, I doubt there little if any interaction with medical staff. Actually it's a little surprising that isn't obvious to people.
Big Turk Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 In most cases they can either take medication or have a procedure done to help or resolve it...will probably still be able to play...might not be cleared by all teams tho
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 ...pray the lad has a happy ending like Star did........... In 2013, an echocardiogram detected a heart condition in Utah's defensive tackle Star Lotulelei. A medical recheck showed there was no dysfunction, and Lotulelei was eventually drafted in the first round to the Carolina Panthers. 5
Mark Vader Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Very sad news, but thank God the doctors caught this. I loved watching Hurst play at Michigan, and I hope that he can still play in the NFL and continue to have a long life.

They have to get a physical from their private doctor before the season...to the extent of, you look healthy. You feel good? Yep...okay, we're good. I heard this kid on a SiriusXM / NFL interview a week or so ago. Sounded like a great kid w/ a good head on his shoulders. I wish him the best and hope this is nothing.

YoloinOhio Posted March 7, 2018 Author Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Tony Pauline, who I’ve found to be very well connected at draft time, said on radio this morning that the belief is Hurst will need to retire. His condition is more like Nick Fairley’s than Lotulelei’s. Edited March 7, 2018 by YoloinOhio

aristocrat Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 hurst said he was cleared at michigan so whats the deal?
buffaloboyinATL Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Great news for this young man. Would love to have him side by side with Star.

On one hand, you really feel for him if this is him done before his career really gets to start. On the other, I'm just pleased that he knows about it and can hopefully manage it so it doesn't cause a premature end to something more precious than his football career. Is there something worse than losing $15M guaranteed with the prospect of hundreds of millions for your family throughout your career. 99.99% of us will never be able to leave our family with anything like that. I know my life isn't worth that much security, and I do ok.

BuffAlone Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Awesome news, especially for him! I'd love to have him, he's a perfect Kyle replacement. Good luck to you, kid Bring out the Hearst, that guy just got ran over by a Hurst! Good stuff lol
