The nation's fifth-highest ranked high school recruit, Josh Sweat, was carted off the field Friday night during a game.
Rivals.com has Sweat - a defensive end from Oscar Smith High School in Virginia - as the fourth-ranked defensive player overall. In all likelihood, Sweat will be able to choose any college he wants in 2015, since they'll all want him.
However, his immediate college football aspirations could be put on hold after a serious-looking leg injury was reported:

Fellow five-star defensive end recruit CeCe Jefferson - who earlier this season suffered a season-ending torn labrum in his shoulder - tweeted to Sweat in support:
Prayers to Josh Sweat, I know the feeling homie.
