Norfolk State Spartans Head Coach Dawson Odums Announces Injury Concerns for Kevon King and Noah Tracey
Norfolk State Spartans football head coach Dawson Odums delivered concerning news during today’s press conference, revealing that two key players, Kevon King and Noah Tracey, are currently dealing with minor injuries. While Odums emphasized that both players are expected to make a full recovery, the news has left fans and teammates anxious as the Spartans approach critical games in the second half of the season.
King, a standout wide receiver for the Spartans, is reportedly dealing with a minor lower-body injury. King has been one of the team’s top offensive weapons this season, contributing several key plays and touchdowns. Odums confirmed that the injury is not expected to be long-term but will keep King sidelined for at least a few practices. “Kevon is an essential part of our offense, and we’re being cautious with him,” Odums stated. “We expect him to be back soon, but right now, it’s all about making sure he’s 100% before we get him back on the field.”
Noah Tracey, the Spartans’ starting linebacker, is also dealing with a minor injury to his upper body. Tracey, known for his leadership on defense, has been an integral force in the Spartans’ defensive schemes. Odums indicated that the injury is minor but will require Tracey to rest and undergo treatment in the coming days. “Noah’s injury isn’t serious, but we’re going to take our time with him,” Odums said. “We want to make sure he’s fully recovered before he gets back into action.”
The news of these injuries comes at a pivotal time for the Spartans, who are preparing for an important stretch of games in the conference. Odums reassured fans that the team has the depth to handle these short-term absences, but the loss of King and Tracey will undoubtedly impact the team’s performance in the upcoming weeks. Both players are expected to return to action soon as the Spartans aim to stay competitive.
