Grambling State University quarterback C’zavian Teasett is responsive and in good spirits after sustaining an injury during the fourth quarter of Saturday’s Las Vegas HBCU Classic.
Late during the fourth quarter of Saturday night’s win over Jackson State, Teasett was tackled and remained face down and motionless on the field. Almost immediately after getting to Teasett, GSU medical personnel signaled for more help.
Eventually Teasett was strapped to a backboard and put into an ambulance that had driven out to the middle of the field and taken directly to a hospital in Vegas.
According to GSU officials, Teasett continues to be evaluated by medical personnel.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with C’zavian as he continues to recover,” said Grambling State University President Martin Lemelle Jr. in a release by the university Sunday. “Moments like these remind us that football is more than a game – it’s a brotherhood rooted in courage, care, and community. C’zavian is a remarkable young man whose strength and resolve reflect the heart of this institution. We are all rallying around him and praying for his full recovery.”
Sunday’s release did not say if Teasett was still in Las Vegas or if he had returned to Louisiana.
Grambling State Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Trayvean Scott expressed gratitude to the Sports Medicine staff, team doctors, and emergency response personnel for their swift and professional care.
“Their immediate attention and coordinated efforts exemplify the highest standard of care and compassion for our student-athletes,” said Dr. Scott. “C’zavian embodies the spirit and resilience of a true G-Man, and we stand firmly beside him and his family during this time.”
