Boston College senior linebacker Mark Herzlich disclosed today that he has been diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a malignant tumor most often found in bone or soft tissue.
The following is a statement from Herzlich:
"This past week, I got some news nobody wants to hear. After undergoing some tests to determine the cause of some pain I had been experiencing in my leg, I learned that I have Ewing's Sarcoma.
"Obviously, I was shocked. I had been extremely focused on preparing for my senior season at Boston College and for life beyond that. Now, I must channel all that energy into facing my toughest opponent yet, and that is exactly what I will do. "
As much as I hate BC I feel terrible for Mark Herzlich. 6-foot-4-inch, 238-pound junior was the ACC defensive player of the year. Herzlich finished last year with 110 tackles, 2 sacks and 2 forced fumbles. This is a big blow for BC's defensive line, but we are pulling for you Mark.
Thanks for the ups Jesus
