Tennessee State University News January 14, 2019 PRESIDENT GLOVER VISITS TSU FOOTBALL PLAYER CHRISTION ABERCROMBIE IN ATLANTA Tennessee State University President Glenda Glover recently traveled to Atlanta to visit football player Christion Abercrombie, who is making a miraculous recovery. Dr. Glover spent time with Abercrombie this past weekend. The linebacker suffered a severe head injury in a game against Vanderbilt University on Sept. 29. But since then, he has made an amazing recovery. In October, Abercrombie was transferred from Vanderbilt University Medical Center to the Shepherd Center, a rehabilitation facility in Atlanta. He was released about three weeks ago, according to TSU athletic officials. On Dec. 16, Abercrombie went home for a little while to watch NFL games with his family. A few days later, he attended a special day in his honor at his alma mater, Westlake High in Atlanta. Abercrombie is now at home, which his mother and others say is a "miracle." "We're very grateful to God for what he's already done and for what He is going to continue to do," said Staci Abercrombie, Christion's mother. A GoFundMe has been set up to help Christion and his family.
