Three Utah State football players have been released from the hospital following a car accident nine days ago. A fourth injured Aggie, however, is not as yet as fortunate.
In a press release announcing that one of the five individuals injured in the accident, former USU softball player Sarah Vasquez, had been released from the hospital, the school confirmed that football player Travis Seefeldt remains hospitalized at a local medical facility. The release did note that Seefeldt (pictured, right) continues to improve from unspecified injuries.
According to reports at the time of the wreck, the unnamed driver of the SUV in which the seatbelt-less football players were riding pulled out in front of a semi at an intersection and was broadsided by the tanker truck, which was hauling 52,000 pounds of milk at the time of the accident.
The five occupants of the SUV had initially been reported as being critically injured.
A week ago Sunday, USU announced that senior defensive lineman John Taylor and redshirt freshman defensive lineman Adewale Adeoye, were released from the hospital. Two days later, the same announcement was made for redshirt junior defensive lineman Edmund Faimalo.
Seefeldt has played in 39 games during his USU career, starting two of those contests. Last season, Seefeldt was credited with six tackles for loss, two sacks and two fumble recoveries. His .14 fumble recoveries per game was good for sixth in the Mountain West and tied for 43rd at the FBS level.
Exiting spring, the nose guard was listed as a starter for the Aggies.
