GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) — Former South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw was in stable condition Thursday, a day after he collapsed while coaching his son’s flag football team.
The City of Simpsonville said Shaw was coaching at Gracely Park on Wednesday, and the incident occurred about 15 minutes after the game started.
Shaw, 33, was taken by emergency services to Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital. The City of Simpsonville said he was in stable condition Thursday morning.
“The Simpsonville Parks and Recreation Department and City of Simpsonville have Mr. Shaw and his family in our thoughts and prayers and wish Mr. Shaw a full and speedy recovery,” a release from the city said.
Shaw was South Carolina’s starting quarterback from 2011 to 2013. He passed for 6,074 yards and ran for 1,683 while posting a 27-5 career record. He was inducted into the school's athletics Hall of Fame in 2021.
