Teresa Milton, McKenzie’s mom, revealed in a statement posted to Twitter that her son is undergoing another surgery Thursday “to get him more comfortable.” She also added that Milton “will be at the Fiesta Bowl to cheer his [teammates] on to Victory!”
Milton, who was released from the hospital eight days after sustaining the injury, will have to undergo reconstructive surgery at some point in the next month or so “depending on his vascular recovery.” At this point in time, it remains decidedly uncertain what if any future Milton has in football.
UCF will face LSU Jan. 1 in the 2019 Fiesta Bowl.
