Just days after the scary Richard LeCounte news out of Georgia, another high-profile SEC player has been injured in a car accident.
Nick Saban announced Friday that redshirt freshman Trey Sanders was in stable condition after suffering non-life-threatening injuries in a car accident in the morning.
“Trey Sanders was involved in a car accident this morning and is in stable condition after sustaining non-life-threatening injuries,” Saban’s statement read. “We are in direct contact with his family and the physicians that are treating him as we continue to gather more information.”
