Against all odds, former Southern University wide receiver Devon Gales is up on his feet walking again with assistance.
In September 2015, Gales was tragically left paralyzed from the waist down after injuring his neck while blocking on a kickoff return during a game at Georgia.
Two days after the injury occurred, Gales was in surgery and has ever since had one goal -- to walk again.
Mission accomplished.
Gales was a redshirt sophomore at the time of his injury. He has posted about his progress throughout his recovery and has always maintained a positive attitude.
