Derek Stingley Jr. , all-America’s sophomore and LSU consensus, is expected to play LSU’s first game of season five as opposed to the state of Mississippi on Saturday at Tiger Stadium after being hospitalized Friday night, according to LSU.
Stingley must be discharged from a hospital in Baton Rouge on Saturday morning.
“His condition is not similar to COVID-19, and he is expected to be released soon,” LSU’s director of sports information Michael Bonnette said on Saturday, “He will resume his activities after a full evaluation through the medical team. “Derek Stingley Jr. became seriously ill last night and was evaluated overnight at the hospital. “
When asked if this meant Stingley might not play against the state of Mississippi, Bonnette said, “All we’re saying is that she will resume her activities once she has undergone a full medical evaluation. This is one hundred percent a medical decision. “I don’t know what the time for the evaluation will be. “
Stingley is one of the most productive cornerers in the country.
