Former Hawkeye Brett Greenwood Hospitalized

Numerous news outlets have reported that Iowa Safety Brett Greenwood collapsed Friday afternoon during a workout at Pleasant Valley High School in the Quad Cities.

It was reported that Greenwood's heart stopped before he was revived by a defibrillator. 

Don Doxsie of the Quad City Times has a write up of a situation that sounds like it was a very dire.

Greenwood suffered an apparent heart attack and collapsed while working out on PV's football field about 3 p.m. He was listed in critical condition at Trinity Bettendorf and later transported to University Hospitals in Iowa City.

The Daily Iowan reported that as of Friday night Greenwood was in intensive care at the UIHC, with his condition sounding a bit more stable.

Brett Greenwood is unconscious but responsive at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics after collapsing Friday afternoon, a source close to the former Iowa safety told The Daily Iowan.

Rumors about Greenwood's condition began to fly back and fourth on Twitter around 4 p.m. A rumor began circulating that Greenwood had died, which was thankfully quashed by the arrival of official news.

It wasn't all bad on Twitter, though, as countless people sent their well wishes to Greenwood and his family. This included former defensive backfield mate, Tyler Sash, who sent this Tweet, helping to dispel the rumors of Greenwood's death:

My prayers are with #BrettGreenwood he is alive and on his way to IC. He has overcome every challenge throughout his life. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Most people only knew the football player; I was blessed to know the person as well.
