As we continue to wish Tyson and his family our best wishes, let's make sure that we avoid speculation about Tyson's condition.
Here's an AP article on CBS's website: sportsline.com Ohio State walk-on Gentry has surgery for neck injury <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=top><TD width=10></TD><TD><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR vAlign=top><TD noWrap>April 15, 2006 CBS SportsLine.com wire reports </TD><TD width=10> </TD><TD align=right><SCRIPT ********************><!--//var dclkFeaturesponsor='http://ad.doubleclick.net/adj/sponsorships.spln.com/fs/stories/'+vTag+';'+vTarget+';'+uID+';sz=234x42;tile=5;ord= '+random+'?';if (switchDclk != 'off') { if (location.search.substring(1).indexOf('DCLK')>-1) document.write('<input type="text" value="'+dclkFeaturesponsor+'" style="width:"> '); document.write('<script src="'+dclkFeaturesponsor+'"><\/script>'); }// --></SCRIPT><SCRIPT src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/adj/sponsorships.spln.com/fs/stories/collegefootball;arena=collegefootball;feat=stories ;type=psa;user=Anonymous;seg=nonaol;ctype=lan;lang =en-us;lang=en-us;vpmp=yes;adv=a;cust=no;vip=no;u=RBQ3zQq0C5oAAEv GfDw;sz=234x42;tile=5;ord=45498184642723677?"></SCRIPT> <NOSCRIPT>The university said the 20-year-old Gentry had surgery Friday night at Ohio State University Medical Center after being injured when he was tackled during a pass play at Ohio Stadium. The walk-on was running a crossing pattern when he was hit by freshman defensive back Kurt Coleman. Coach Jim Tressel canceled the rest of practice when Gentry was hurt. The 6-foot-2, 165-pound Gentry is listed as a punter on the roster, but has been trying out as a receiver this spring. Linebacker Marcus Freeman said players were told Gentry had little feeling in his body immediately after the hit. "Coach Tressel said at first he couldn't feel anything from his head down. But by the time the ambulance got there, from the very top of his shoulder, he could start to feel," Freeman said. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> |

First off, thoughts and prayers to the Gentry family on a full recovery by Tyson.
Second, as I read the post right above me, I find myself pretty much engulfed in goose bumps about what this player and this family are all about. As i understand it, Tyson is a third-year walk-on. His dad played here but never lettered. If these people don't exemplify exactly what it is to love Ohio State football than I sure as hell don't know who does. If Mr. Gentry was nothing more than a walk-on in the mid 70's at Ohio State, to me that means he probably could have started at half the schools in the country. So what does he do? Sends his skinny son to Ohio State to take a shot at the Big-Time also. No expectations and No regrets seem to be the motto of these people as they just continue to love this University and this football program. To me, The Gentry family gets "IT" and deserves our support. Peace. |

That's a great post Dubs. It wouldn't have mattered to most of us if we were on a schollie or even saw the field, so much as just knowing we made the team. The Gentry family truly does look like a class act.

4/17 Injured OSU player still in hospital By Doug Harris Staff Writer COLUMBUS | Ohio State sophomore punter and receiver Tyson Gentry remained hospitalized Saturday after suffering a serious neck injury and undergoing surgery. <!--endtext--> <!-- inset --> <!--begintext--> Gentry was tackled while running a pass pattern during Friday's practice. Several teammates said the walk-on from Sandusky Perkins High School had no feeling below his shoulders as he was immoblized and placed on a stretcher. OSU issued a release saying the player is resting comfortably with his family by his side. "Ty is alert and in good spirits and is receiving the very best in medical care," his father, Bob, said in a statement. "My wife, Gloria, and I want to thank the wonderful team of doctors and nurses for all that they have done for him. We also want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. We ask that you continue to keep our son in your prayers." OSU medical center wouldn't disclose information about Gentry's condition. "Tyson is a wonderful young man, who loves the game of football and loves being at Ohio State and following in the footsteps of his dad," OSU coach Jim Tressel said in a statement. "Our players, coaches and everyone in the Ohio State athletics department family are praying fervently for his recovery." Gentry's former coaches at Perkins, Shane Burrows (track) and Rocky Farlow (football), said they knew only that their former star had surgery and were waiting for an update. "Tyson's a great kid, and I hope everything is OK," Burrows said. Contact this reporter at (937) 225-2125 or dharris@daytondailynews.com |
