Colby Delahoussaye’s dedication to the LSU football program, his brothers on the field, his coaching staff, his future, and his lost friends, is truly inspirational.

Less than two weeks following a fiery car crash that took the lives of Nebraska punter Sam Foltz and former Michigan State punter Mike Sadler, Delahoussaye has appeared for the Tigers’ first practice of the fall camp session on Wednesday:

It’s one thing that Delahoussaye is “doing good.” It’s another that he’s ready to start putting that leg to use again.

He was lucky enough to be awoken out of unconsciousness to find his leg on fire from the tragic accident, allowing him to remove himself from the vehicle before it was too late. The wreck left Delahoussaye with second-degree burns on his left leg, stitches on his head and bruises around his hips and chest.

“All he remembers is that the fire was burning his leg and that woke him up,” said Dwayne Delahoussaye, Colby’s father, per The Advocate. “He was knocked unconscious. The burning sensation revived him. That’s all he remembers. He doesn’t even know how he got out. He doesn’t know where he crawled out of.

“He’s doing well considering,” Dwayne said of his son. “He’s hurting a good bit, but Colby … he just keeps on going.”

That quote was from July 25 — two days after the accident. At the time, the second-degree burns on the top of Colby’s left thigh were causing him significant pain. Fast forward nine days later, and the senior from New Iberia (LA) is already back on the gridiron instead of taking this opportunity to keep to himself, like many in his situation would.

Putting things into better perspective, here’s a description of the horrific accident:

Delahoussaye was in the backseat of what Dwayne Delahoussaye said was a two-door Mercedes coupe, driven by Sadler. Foltz was in the passenger seat of the car, which a sheriff’s department news release said lost control on wet pavement and struck a tree around 11:45 p.m. Saturday. Speed appeared to be a factor in the crash, the release said.

The car slid off the roadway between a light post and a tree before dropping off an embankment of 40 feet, Dwayne said.

The car hit a tree at the bottom of the embankment, and authorities believe Sadler and Foltz died instantly, Dwayne Delahoussaye said. The impact was so loud that it woke up residents nearby, he said.

Dwayne Delahoussaye said his son has no memory of how he escaped from the backseat of the burning, crumpled two-door car. He could have climbed out of the shattered back window, he said.

Delahoussaye was wearing his seatbelt, and he was knocked unconscious in the crash, leaving a wound on his head that needed a few stitches, his father said. Because of the jolt of the crash, the seatbelt left a lot of bruising around Delahoussaye’s chest and hips. X-rays performed Sunday morning at Waukesha Memorial Hospital revealed no internal injuries.

Delahoussaye is a leader, and Tigers fans should be proud that he suits up in purple and white on Saturdays.
