The support and public inquiry into injured Grambling State quarterback C’zavian Teasett continues to pour in.
For now, Teasett continues to remain “in good spirits” as he recovers. However, specifics about his condition remain unknown nearly two weeks after he was taken from the field in an ambulance during Grambling’s 26-24 win over Jackson State in Las Vegas.
“We sent him a video the other day, and we’ve been in constant contact with his mother,” coach Mickey Joseph said. “We haven’t talked to Zay directly yet, but his mom said he’s up and talking. He’s still in good spirits, and that’s what matters right now.”
Joseph noted that updates have come gradually as the family focuses on Teasett’s privacy during recovery.
“We’re not getting a whole bunch, just a little bit at a time,” he explained. “We’re trying to respect her space. I’m going to try to push for an update next week so everyone knows where he’s at, because it’ll be almost two weeks.”
Joseph emphasized that the widespread concern for the quarterback comes from genuine care within the HBCU community. “Everybody’s not doing it to be nosy,” he said. “People really care and want to help. Even the kids from Jackson State reached out after what happened. That means a lot.”
Programs and coaches across the country have expressed support for Teasett.
“That’s one thing I love about this league,” Joseph said. “Everybody’s reached out—some coaches, even people in the MEAC—to see what they can do for the kid. When it comes to HBCUs, we’re one big family. We’re all striving for the same thing, and it’s showing right now.
“I appreciate all the prayers, all the love, and everybody looking out for us. “My kids appreciate it, and my coaches do too.”
Hello, I was not aware the game I watched December 28, 2025
on the GRIO Network here in Detroit was a repeat of the Grambling and Jackson October 25, 2025 Las Vegas game. So when I returned to the network to get an update to the injured players condition -there was none. I immediately took to Google to find that I had watched a rerun. So to conclude, I just want to say I hope this hasn’t caused a revisit of the situation. Only a concerned fan reaching out to give thanks for a remarkable game and prayers to continue well!
