The Tennessean) – Mt. Juliet football long snapper Jaxon Rocchietti was in stable condition at a Vanderbilt Medical Center intensive care unit on Tuesday with a traumatic brain injury, following a car accident in Wilson County last weekend.
Rocchietti has brain function and has been able to sleep after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 diffuse axonal injury, his father, Matt, said. DAIs are caused by tears in the connective brain fibers.
His father is the Bears tight end coach and has been an assistant with head coach Trey Perry for the past 10 TSSAA football seasons. CONTINUE
