Ryan Switzer's head injury draws attention to concussions

Posted Aug 29, 2012
Ryan Switzer, the winner of the 2011 Kennedy Award, a North Carolina commitment for the Tar Heels' 2013 recruiting class and a two-time Class AAA All-State selection, was named to the USA Today's Preseason All-America Team last week. Just days later, he suffered a much (and appropriately) publicized concussion and a bruised shoulder early in the Patriots' season-opening win at South Charleston after just two carries.
