August 31, 2025, has been an ominous day for the Florida State Seminoles fans. Their linebacker, Ethan Pritchard, was shot in the back of the head. Now, over two and a half months later, he’s stepping out of rehab with the same fire in his eyes. His eyes are set firmly on returning to the gridiron.

The linebacker completed 34 days of intensive rehabilitation at the Brooks-Rehabilitation in Jacksonville. Still in his wheelchair, Pritchard faced the media and said, “The goal is to return to the football field. Getting back on the field as quick as I can or not quick as I can. So I ain’t going to rush it. But yeah, just getting back on the field.” Now that’s what you call fighting spirit. After all, it was not easy for Pritchard to maintain it after the fateful event.
