Arkansas DB Quincey McAdoo hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries after auto accident

Arkansas defensive back Quincey McAdoo was involved in an automobile accident Monday morning, the school announced Tuesday afternoon on Twitter.

McAdoo, who is entering his sophomore season with the Razorbacks, suffered non-life-threatening injuries, the school said in a statement.

Here is the full release from Arkansas:

“Yesterday morning, Quincey McAdoo was involved in an automobile accident. He was transported to Washington Regional Hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. He is in stable condition and recovering. Our sole focus now is supporting Quincey during his recovery.”

McAdoo appeared in nine games last season for the Razorbacks, finishing with 30 tackles, including a sack.

The Arkansas native was also second on the team in interceptions with two and had four pass breakups.

McAdoo signed with the Razorbacks for the class of 2022 as a three-star recruit and the No. 447 overall player in the country, according to the On3 Industry rankings.

After enrolling early and participating in spring practice prior to last season, McAdoo became an immediate contributor for the Razorbacks.

He made his college debut in the third game of the season against Missouri State and also saw action the following week against Texas A&M.

McAdoo didn’t play against Alabama or Mississippi State, but he was a contributor the final six games of the season after that. He recorded interceptions against Liberty in November and against Kansas in the Liberty Bowl to close out the year.

He started the final four games of his freshman season.

Sam Pittman addresses potential for Quincey McAdoo to play on both sides of the ball

While McAdoo played on defense for the Razorbacks last season, he is capable of being a playmaker on offense as well.

McAdoo had 894 rushing yards as a senior in high school while averaging nearly 11 yards per rush attempt. He also caught 34 passes for 617 yards and eight scores.

Razorbacks coach Sam Pittman was asked about the possibility of using McAdoo on offense this spring.

“We’ve had extensive conversations about him on offense, him on defense. With the emergence of the new staff, I think he’s more comfortable staying where he was. I think there might have been a point where he wanted to move to offense. But, he’s going to stay on defense because he feels like he can help the team, help himself more over there,” Pittman said.

“We have talked to him about a third-down package and I have talked to our staff about that. There’s two things there — one, he has to do it. It’s going to be extra work on him. Which, he’s willing to do that. And one of the other things is, he has to be one of our top three receivers, top four to get on the field. As long as that happens, then certainly, we are going to look at it because I told him I would.”
