Lightning nearly strikes GSU football player
August 20, 2013
A Georgia Southern University football player was nearly struck by lightning during practice today.
Lightning struck a tree as players stood underneath a pavilion and one player was sent to the hospital as a precautionary measure. He has since been released.
This comes on the heels of walk-on tryouts being pushed back a day because of heavy rains. The tryouts had to be moved into Hanner Fieldhouse because of the poor conditions.
