LSU QB Colin Hurley involved in car accident on campus

LSU quarterback Colin Hurley was injured in a car accident on campus Thursday morning around 2:45 a.m., WBRZ News reported. The 17-year-old was found unresponsive and an update on his condition has not been given.

“Sources tell WBRZ Unit investigating that Hurley’s Dodge Charger crashed into a tree at South Quad Drive and Highland Road, near the south gates of LSU’s campus.

Officials said Hurley was unresponsive but breathing. An accident report said firefighters pulled Hurley from his vehicle. He was in and out of consciousness and had a large wound on his face.

The cause of the crash has not been released, but officials said no impairment was suspected.

Hurley just finished his first season at LSU as a true freshman, and after reclassifying from a 2025 commitment to a 2024 target, Hurley arrived on campus as the youngest players on LSU’s roster. He showed promise in LSU’s 2024 spring game after enrolling early and will be in line to compete for the backup quarterback position in 2025 with transfer Michael Van Buren. He was a four-star commit and top 25 quarterback in the 2024 class.

“I can’t wait to get on campus. Go compete, learn and do the best I can,” Hurley said just before arriving on campus. “He (Sloan) pushes me every day to be the best, not only the quarterback I can be, but the best person I can be. I can’t wait to go in there, do the best I can do and put effort and time into my team.”
