LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) – Lubbock officials say a standout Texas Tech University football player has been hospitalized and released after suffering a laceration during an off-campus shooting.
University spokesman Blayne Beal tells the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal that junior wide receiver Jakeem Grant is “doing well” after being hospitalized Sunday morning. Grant is Tech’s leading receiver with 50 catches for 629 yards and five touchdowns.
Beal didn’t say how the Saturday night incident will affect Grant’s role on the team.
Police Lt. Bryan Taylor says it’s unclear what cut Grant. He says more than 20 rounds were fired from multiple weapons during a party at El Fronteriso.
Taylor says a second person was injured but the wound wasn’t life threatening.
No arrests or charges have been reported.
