A teammate told local FOX affiliate WACH that the bone broke when the ball hit Enright directly in the neck.
The junior was taken off the field on a stretcher and rushed to the hospital, where he underwent surgery around 11:30p.m.
His mother, Ann, also released a statement. She did not explain his prognosis, but it sounds like the devasting injury will require a long recovery.
“Thank you all for the prayers and support … It’s been heartbreaking, and still feels so unreal at the same time. But if you know Jack, he is a fighter and has one of the biggest hearts and best attitudes I could ever be blessed with as a mother…" she said, according to WLTX.
"He is struggling to accept this and we have cried all we can… I’m with him now… he’s sleeping and comfortable… We are so blessed with the outpouring of support, love, prayers and encouragement from the entire community…"
His friends and teammates have been tweeting their support with the hashtag #PrayforJack. This morning, Jack added a message of his own.
