On Thursday afternoon, the football world learned that a former college football quarterback is “fighting for his life.”
According to a GoFundMe page, former Auburn quarterback Jeff Klein had severe back pain which led him to go to the hospital. Unfortunately, an MRI revealed “spots” on his lower back and his condition has worsened.
“Jeff’s condition has rapidly become more drastic and equally challenging to the doctors since his admittance,” reads the GoFundMe post, written by Heather Kinder.
“There are still a lot of unknowns about future conditions and outcomes at this point. What we do know is that Jeff and Adrienne will have a long, difficult road ahead of them. This road will be paved with an unknown amount of financial hardships and other burdens placed on each family member.”
Former Auburn offensive lineman, and teammate of Klein, Cole Cubelic pleaded for people to donate.
“My friend & teammate is fighting for his life,” he said. “His beautiful family needs our help. Please consider donating if you can & please share!”
