Everyone needs to send out some major positive vibes to Rubio Long Snapper Thomas Newberg (TN, ’16).
He was involved in a car accident last night (he is fine) and is pretty banged up. When you see the photos, you will realize just how lucky he is. He was sitting right where a Ford F-150 made impact (yes, back seat behind passenger) and suffered only a cut above his eye and a bruised hip and collarbone.
Why was he not more injured?
HE WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT!!!!
He is lucky to be alive and please send positive vibes his way. I have spoken to his mother and he has already tried to get into his Long Snapping stance and is still planning on being at the Underclassmen Invite Event in late June.
Please, please be safe tonight and, for the love of all that is holy, BUCKLE UP!
