PRAYERS UP: A Texas high school senior who collapsed during football practice remains in the ICU tonight after suffering cardiac arrest. nt
His name is Odin Hensley.
He’s a senior and varsity football player at Lake Travis High School outside Austin.
And right now, his family is sitting beside him in intensive care, praying for his heart, brain and other organs to recover.
The medical emergency happened around 8 a.m. during football practice.
Lake Travis football coach Hank Carter described it as a “serious health emergency” and said Travis County STAR Flight responded, according to KVUE.
The remainder of Monday’s football activities were canceled.
A fundraiser organized for Odin’s family provides the heartbreaking detail of what happened next.
It says Odin 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.
