Missouri freshman offensive tackle Johnnie “DJ” Jones is at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, and is on a heart transplant list, coach Eli Drinkwitz said Tuesday, according to Missouri Tigers On SI.
Drinkwitz said Missouri's medical staff found a heart issue during Jones's freshman intake over the summer. After two weeks of observation, an evaluation at Mayo Clinic found a more significant issue.
The coach said the team learned last week that the 18-year-old had been placed on the transplant list. “We're praying for him,” Drinkwitz said, adding that Jones “does need help in a hurry,” remarks also shared by St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Eli Hoff.
