Ethan Pritchard’s road to recovery continues. As Florida State football (4-4, 1-4) focuses on capturing its first road win at Clemson, Pritchard remains locked in with his rehab.
Last week, he started a Facebook page to document his progress for his followers. His latest post is a 22-sec22-second video clip of his therapy sessions. He also expressed the emotions he has about the shooting that had him hospitalized for over a month.
“Man, first off, I just wanna say thank you, Pritchard said on his post.
“To everybody who’s been praying for me, checking in, donating, or just showing love, for real, it means the world. I feel all of it. Some days I wake up mad, confused, hurt, but I’m still here. And that means something. Every therapy session hurts, but I keep pushing. I’m not giving up on me, my family, or the people who believe in me.”
Here’s what we know about Pritchard.
