Wednesday's Daily Briefing: FAU safety Austin Jensen talks about recovery from auto accident
By Marcus Nelson
Florida Atlantic senior safety Austin Jensen, who was badly hurt in a February car accident, has made a few appearances at football practice lately and has even started to work out on the sidelines as he prepares to make it back to the football team next season.
Jensen, who is enrolled in school this semester but is not on the team, sat down with reporters on Tuesday and talked about his accident and the process of trying to make it back on the field next season.
Jensen, pictured here a few weeks ago when he stopped by practice, has a long way to go, but is determined to play football again.
“I want to put the accident as far away from me as I possibly can and I feel like if I were to be playing playing football again, that would be a pretty good showing that I am away from the accident. I feel very lucky. I know somebody was looking out for me. I ‘m obviously here for a reason. I’m ready to figure out what that it is.”
Here’s a sampling of what else Jensen had to say…
- Jensen said he doesn’t remember any of the crash which left him with skull fractures, brain swelling and a broken pelvis.
“The last thing I remember was putting on my outfit to go to the football banquet and the next thing I remember is leaving the hospital in a wheelchair. I don’t remember any pain. Unfortunately I don’t remember a single visitor and I know there was a lot.”
- Jensen said he still has short-term memory loss and problems with his balance, but the conditions are getting better.
“Everything is OK to play, but I have some brain issues I can’t get past right now. …It was a very severe concussion. I was diagnosed with short-term memory loss and the doctor said there is a good chance it can come back, there is a good chance it won’t come back.”
- Jensen said he has the full support of his neurologist in Bradenton and once he is cleared by FAU, hopes to make it back to the field by next season.
“They know it’s best for me to sit out this season and take the time off for my brain to completely heal. They never said ‘you’ll never play football again’ but they encouraged me to not play this season.”
Let's wish Austin the best of luck and a speedy recovery.
