2020
In September 2020, University of Washington Huskies football player Rome Odunze suffered a devastating injury during practice. The freshman safety was diagnosed with a broken rib and a punctured lung after a collision with a teammate.
The injury occurred on the first day of fall camp, and Odunze was immediately taken to the hospital for evaluation. The UW medical staff determined that he had suffered a broken rib and a punctured lung, and he was forced to miss the remainder of the season.
Odunze is a highly-touted recruit who had just joined the Huskies in January of 2020. He was expected to contribute significantly to the team’s defense this season, but his injury has put those plans on hold.
The UW coaching staff is hopeful that Odunze will make a full recovery and be able to return to the field next season. He is currently undergoing treatment and rehabilitation, and the team is optimistic that he will be back to full strength in time for the 2021 season.
The injury to Odunze is a major setback for the Huskies, but they are still hopeful that he will be able to make a full recovery and contribute to the team in the future. In the meantime, the team will continue to focus on their upcoming season and hope for the best for their injured player.
