LSU safety Greg Brooks -- a starter on the Tigers' defense -- underwent emergency surgery on Friday to remove a large brain tumor.
Thankfully, according to a statement released by his family on Wednesday morning, the procedure was successful -- though the football player and his loved ones are now anxiously waiting on biopsy results.
"Greg continues to fight," Brooks' family said in their statement, "and we await further clarity on the extent of that battle."
"His incredible strength of character gives us confidence, but we also know that he needs our support now more than ever.
