AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State cornerback Jaheim Singletary was released from an Ames hospital on Saturday after leaving the field on a backboard following a collision with a teammate in the first quarter of the Cyclones’ 55-7 win over Bowling Green.
Singletary and linebacker Willie Breland III ran into each other behind the play as Bowling Green’s Winn Sharp was nearing the end zone on a 59-yard touchdown. Breland was not injured.
Athletic trainers and medics tended to Singletary before he was put on the backboard and taken off the field on a cart. Bowling Green coach Eddie George patted Iowa State coach Jimmy Rogers on the shoulder as they stood together, and players on both sidelines kneeled.
The Cyclones went to the cart to check on their teammate and gathered at midfield before play resumed.
Iowa State announced late in the game that Singletary was showing movement in his extremities and would undergo further evaluation. He was released from the hospital about three hours after the game.
“Really scary situation,” Rogers said, “but you kind of see the heartbeat of this team. They rallied around him and prayed for him. Scary to see that happen to anybody. When you build connections as close as this team has become, to a great player, it’s hard to watch. Our thoughts are really with Jaheim.”
