Florida State freshman linebacker Ethan Pritchard, who has been hospitalized since sustaining a gunshot wound to the head in late August, continues making positive strides in his recovery.

Two weeks after Florida State head football coach Mike Norvell shared the news that Pritchard had opened his eyes and blinked, the family has provided an even more encouraging update.

Orlando television sports anchor Stewart Moore, an FSU graduate who has been speaking regularly with Pritchard’s father, Earl, shared the following update on social media Tuesday evening:

“Just know prayers have been answered!” Moore posted. “I just got an amazing update from Earl Pritchard. [Ethan is] moving his arms, turning his head, opening his eyes.”

Moore, a sports anchor for Ch. 2-WESH, stated that Ethan also is getting closer to breathing on his own.

A source with the Florida State football program confirmed with Warchant on Tuesday that Norvell has shared a similar update with the Seminoles’ players and coaches.

A GoFundMe account designed to raise money to help Pritchard and his family with medical and travel expenses has raised over $143,000, as of Tuesday night.
