ARCO, Idaho (CBS2) — East Idaho News reports that Dillon Waymire, Butte County High School nose guard and guard, is recovering in a Boise hospital after collapsing during a Friday night football game in Middleton.

Angie McAffee, Butte County High School's Athletic Director and wife of the team's assistant coach, told East Idaho News Dillon collapsed about 30 seconds into the fourth quarter after tackling an opponent.

Medical staff gathered around and called an ambulance that took him to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise. Doctors determined Dillon had a blood clot and swelling in his brain and would need surgery immediately. The surgery went better than expected, McAffee says.

As of Monday night, Dillon remains sedated at the hospital. McAffee says they will have a better idea about how Dillon is doing once he regains consciousness. She is hopeful Dillon will fully recover because he is reportedly putting up a good fight for his doctors.

Dillon was involved in a severe car crash on Grand Avenue and U.S. Highway 20/26 at 3:44 p.m. Locals are worried this episode might be connected to that.

McAffee launched a GoFundMe on Saturday. As of 10:30 p.m. Monday, it had raised $37,220, exceeding the $25,000 goal.
