If that turns out to be true, he will be a hero before he ever gains a yard. 

While it would be great if it comes true, he's got a long road ahead of him.

First he has to get well again, then he has to finish high school. Catching up with his classwork and finishing school will be a major accomplishment. Hopefully, if he can walk, they will let him walk with his graduating class whether he's finished his school work or not. That's a once-in-a-lifetime thing, so it would suck if he couldn't go through the ceremony if he hasn't completed his work yet.

This has been a complete shock, followed by uncertainty, and now he appears to be making an amazing recovery. Football may or may not happen, but he's already accomplished a lot and it will be simply amazing if he can become a regular college student and get a college degree.

surly health specialists: we speculate so you don’t have to. 

if he can play again he will.  if he can’t, he won’t.  

“oh golly gee I really don’t think he should do anything without getting three opinions” ... “play again? I’m not I’m sure I’m ok with that”

great work all around.

This kid wants to be a Longhorn, and that's good enough for me.  I don't care if he ever suits up, I'm pulling for him.  Get well, Derrian.

If he can’t play again I hope the NCAA allows him to suit up and take one snap to kneel it in the victory formation.

With all the millionaires involved at Texas i'm kinda surprised it hasn't hit 80K. 

To be fair, the original goal was met very quickly. Then it was raised to $80k, but these campaigns are all about momentum - which had unfortunately passed. If the original goal had been $80k, I'm sure it would have been met almost as quickly.

Can we Derrian's mom/parents a job in Austin without the NCAA/Aggy losing their minds? I'm sure after all this, his family will want to be close. 

If Derrian plays a down at Texas, it's going to be very dusty in DKR. I know I'll be chopping onions.

The NCAA does not have any sway over where his parents work.  If they move to Austin Texas to help with Derrian's rehab, then more power to them.  Fuck aggy.  Also, it would look very bad for aggy to interfere with this young man's recovery over their small minded rivalry issue.
