LSU's Delahoussaye releases statement after horrific car crash

The LSU kicker has released a statement after the accident that claimed two lives.

LSU kicker Colby Delahoussaye was involved in a horrific car crash this weekend, which claimed the lives of two other players: former Michigan State punter Mike Sadler, and Nebraska punter Sam Foltz.

On Tuesday, Delahoussaye released his first public remarks since the deadly accident.

Full transcription of the tweet:

I want to say thank you so very much for all the thoughts and prayers, it truly means so much to me and my family. I am back in Louisiana and have very minor injuries and will recover back to 100% in a very short amount of time. The main thing I want to put focus on is sending many prayer's to Mike and Sam's families. They need prayers now more than ever. They were amazing friends and I will miss them dearly. God Bless
