As wife fights medical ‘nightmare,’ Boise State QB Ricedorff tries to find focus

While he acclimates himself at a third school in a little more than three years and learns one of college football’s most complex offenses, Boise State junior quarterback Rathen Ricedorff’s wife is facing a medical mystery.

Since March 1, Kizzy Ricedorff has been in the hospital fighting a nerve condition that is still not fully diagnosed. Rathen said doctors believes it to be a virus that has attacked her central nervous system.

“It’s been a struggle, I’m not going to lie. It’s been hard dealing with school, trying to pick all this up with football, trying to stay focused, going home, trying to make sure she’s happy and comfortable at the hospital, making sure I’m there for her,” Ricedorff said.
