Parker Boudreaux, a freshman offensive guard from Florida, re-tweeted a post Sunday that he has been admitted to the hospital after contracting what appears to be meningitis.
Scott Daly, the team’s long snapper, broke the news in a now-deleted tweet that mentioned Boudreaux’s hospitalization for what Daly termed a “serious brain infection.” The fifth-year senior later tweeted, “Apologize for alarming everyone. Didn’t have all the information. Parker is going to be OK. Excited for him to be back with us soon.”
Boudreaux tweeted Sunday that he was “not doing that well.” At this point, it’s unclear if the freshman has viral or bacterial meningitis, the former of which is considered less serious and can usually be eradicated within 10 days of diagnosis.
