PRAYERS UP: Texas High School Football Player Remains in ICU
A Texas high school senior who collapsed during football practice remains in the ICU after suffering cardiac arrest.
His name is Odin Hensley.
Odin is a senior and varsity football player at Lake Travis High School near Austin, Texas. Right now, his family is by his side, praying for his heart, brain, and other organs to recover.
The medical emergency happened around 8 a.m. during football practice. According to KVUE, Lake Travis football coach Hank Carter described it as a “serious health emergency,” and Travis County STAR Flight responded.
The remainder of Monday’s football activities were canceled.
According to a fundraiser organized for Odin’s family, he suffered cardiac arrest and was airlifted to Dell Children’s, where he remains in intensive care.
His family says doctors are concerned about his brain and other organs, and they still don’t know what the outcome will be.
Think about how quickly everything can change.
One moment, a young athlete is at practice preparing for his senior season.
The next, his family is sitting beside him in a hospital, hoping and praying for recovery.
Odin’s parents are staying by his side during this difficult time.
