Statement from the Parents of Tyson Gentry
OSU Press ReleaseBob and Gloria Gentry, the parents of injured Ohio State football player, Tyson Gentry, issued the following statement Friday evening:
“First of all, we want to thank the entire Buckeye Nation for an unbelievable outpouring of support. The cards, letters and care packages that Ty has received have been very uplifting for him. Specifically, our family wants to thank Coach Jim Tressel and his coaching staff, along with the medical and training staff, for all that they have done.
“Ty has been moved to Dodd Hall where he is undergoing a rigorous rehabilitation program. Our family takes great comfort in knowing that he is in the care of a wonderful team of therapists. Ty is able to move his arms and there are some other signs that are encouraging. But we know this is a long, difficult recovery process and we literally have to take it one day at a time.
“As this process continues, we ask everyone to keep Ty in their thoughts and prayers.”
Tyson Gentry, a sophomore from Sandusky, Ohio, suffered a neck injury April 14 during a practice session in Ohio Stadium. He was transported to the Ohio State Medical Center and has since undergone two surgical procedures. He was transferred to Dodd Hall earlier this week.
