It was a heartbreaking sight for North Carolina State fans as their star quarterback, Devin Ashford, was removed from the field on a stretcher during the Wolfpack’s opener against UConn. Ashford suffered an apparent injury to his lower body after being tackled by a UConn defender in the fourth quarter.
The injury occurred as Ashford scrambled out of the pocket and was hit low by the defender. He immediately went down and stayed down, prompting medical staff to rush to his aid. After a few minutes, Ashford was placed on a stretcher and taken off the field.
The severity of Ashford’s injury is not yet known, but it is clear that it is serious enough to require medical attention. The Wolfpack will be hoping for a speedy recovery for their star quarterback, who was expected to lead the team this season.
The Wolfpack went on to win the game against UConn, but the victory was overshadowed by the injury to Ashford. The team will now have to prepare for the rest of the season without their leader, and it remains to be seen how they will cope in his absence.
The thoughts and prayers of the Wolfpack nation are with Devin Ashford and his family at this difficult time. We wish him a speedy recovery and hope that he can make a full return to the field soon.
