Prayers: Ole Miss player airlifted from practice

Ole Miss freshman tight end DaMarcus Thomas has been airlifted from practice in Oxford after an injury left him without any feeling in his body, according to reports.

Thomas later was reported to have had a little feeling in his extremities, but prior to that, Lane Kiffin said: “Player potentially severely injured….was hit and hasn’t moved since. A helicopter’s on its way now. I’ve got to do my job for the game whenever it is but nothing seems very important right now.”

The good news – now – is that feeling has returned to Thomas’ body. Ole Miss assistant AD Phil Jernigan tweeted: “Following the injury at practice this morning, Damarcus traveled by ambulance to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Oxford and was airlifted from there to Memphis Regional Medical Center. Evaulations have all been positive to this point. He has regained movement in all of his extremities, and the physicians are optimistic.“

Thomas, from Whatley, Alabama, was a three-star recruit who signed his commitment in 2019 as a wide receiver, before switching position.

We will be praying.
