Eighteen years old. A new heart. And the official story is just “recovering.” I want to know what caused it. When did symptoms start? Who signed off on his recruitment physical, and what did they miss? If a kid can reach Division I football with a dying heart, the clearance process is either blind or lying. Which is it?
