Florida State star Ethan Pritchard was rushed to the hospital after reportedly being shot on Sunday near Tallahassee.
The Seminoles began the 2025 season with a stunning upset win over Alabama on Saturday.
But just hours later, according to the Orlando Sentinel, the freshman linebacker was driving a family member home when his car was fired at.
It is believed to have been a case of mistaken identity.
'The male victim was transported by ambulance to the hospital for treatment,' the Gadsden County Sheriff’s Office said.
As of Monday morning, precise details of Pritchard's injuries and his condition remain unclear.
The linebacker was reportedly shot after visiting family in Havana, around 16 miles northeast of Tallahassee.
The Gadsden County sheriff’s department told WCTV that the incident took place around 10pm, with Pritchard inside the car when he was wounded.
'Officers did arrive (and) were able to get him out of the vehicle, and EMS arrived where they transported him to a local hospital,' Captain Anglie Holmes told WCTV.
Pritchard joined FSU in December 2024 but the linebacker did not feature in the Seminoles' stunning 31-17 win over Alabama on Saturday.
