Spitulski Named Giant Steps Award Finalist
TROY, Ala. – Troy redshirt freshman Bobby Spitulski has been tabbed as a finalist for the 2019 Giant Steps Award for Courageous Student-Athletes, the Institute for Sport Social Justice announced this week.
Spitulski and his family were severely injured in a car accident last January – Bobby the worst of the group with traumatic head injuries. The doctors were unsure whether Spitulski would make it through the countless surgeries to reduce the swelling on his brain. Bobby had other plans, though, as he was able to walk out of the hospital on his own power exactly one month after the accident, defying any odds placed against him.
