West Virginia coach and former Clemson player and grad assistant Randy Mazey and his wife Amanda are going through what no parents should have to endure. Their 14-year-old son, Weston, suffered a traumatic brain injury March 9 when he collided with a wall.

I've seen it reported as having happened during a game and during a practice, but that detail is immaterial. The injury required hospitalization and a long rehabilitation process. WQeston, nicknamed "Wammer," was moved to the Shepherd Center in Atlanta about 10 days after his injury for further treatment.

The family recently made a video showing his progress during recovery and another detailing plans for a foundation to help families in similar situations. It turns out the videos were not supposed to be accessible to the public yet. I apologize to the Mazeys publicly - and did so in an e-mail - for jumping the gun.
