Friday’s college football action featured a scary moment as McKenzie Milton, quarterback of No. 9 UCF, suffered a scary injury against USF in the first half.

Both teams huddled around Milton before he was carted off and transported to a Tampa hospital. Reports suggested there was concern about loss of circulation as a result of Milton’s leg injury.

Milton’s family has released a statement updating his status after surgery.

The statement reads as follows:

The Milton family would like to express gratitude for all of your thoughts, prayers and concerns. McKenzie’s Surgery was successful and he is recovering well. We would like to thank the medical staffs at Tampa General Hospital, University of South Florida and the sports medical staff at UCF for their superb care. McKenzie looks forward to rejoining his teammates in Orlando and supporting them in their quest to bring another conference championship to our program.

Remember what Ohana means. No one gets left behind.
