Unfortunately, the update about the injury suffered by Cal sophomore lock, Robert Paylor, during the first half of the Penn Mutual Varsity Cup national championship final (an eventual Cal victory) is fairly somber. Paylor suffered a spinal injury that has “paralyzed his lower body with limited motion in his arms”.
Here is the full statement released by his family.
