Teammate’s medical battle concerns Jacksonville State before LSU game

Jacksonville State prepares for a challenging mission against LSU with a teammate’s personal battle firmly on the minds of its players.

Cornerback Keegan Hill has been fighting life-threatening complications of a bacterial infection, Jacksonville State coach John Grass announced. Grass said Hill is receiving treatment at UAB Hospital in Birmingham, Ala.

“He had some pressure on his brain and they really don’t know what caused it,” Grass said. “He is battling for his life right now and the family has been with him the whole time and we have tried to send someone every day.
