It was a shocking revelation for the Colorado Buffaloes when their defensive end, Nikhil Webb Walker from Jamaica, announced that he had been diagnosed with lymphoma. This news explained his absence from the last two games, leaving his teammates and coaches concerned and curious about his condition.
During a team meeting, head coach Deion Sanders called Webb Walker to the front to address the team and explain what he had been going through. In a video shared by Well Off Media, Webb Walker shared his journey with his teammates. He recalled waking up one morning with a bump on his chest, assuming it would go away on its own. However, after a week of waiting, he decided to visit the trainers who ran a series of tests including a biopsy and surgery.
After meeting with the doctor this week, Webb Walker received the devastating news that he had lymphoma. He shared with his team that the doctor assured him it was treatable with chemotherapy. Lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which is an essential part of the body's immune system.
Webb Walker, who transferred from New Mexico State, had been an important player for the Buffs' special teams in the first five games. He also had the opportunity to play in 10 defensive snaps during their win against Central Florida on September 28. Unfortunately, he has been unable to play since then due to his condition.
Despite his challenging journey, Webb Walker expressed his gratitude towards his teammates for making it easier for him. He thanked them for their support and admitted that he never thought something like this would happen to him. He also shared that he believes it is all part of God's plan.
Coach Prime, as he is known to his team, reassured Webb Walker that he was not a distraction but a blessing to the team. He commended the way Webb Walker has dealt with his illness and expressed his admiration for the young player. He also assured him that the team will stand by his side throughout his treatment.
The team was moved by Webb Walker's strength and determination, and they were reminded of the importance of supporting each other through tough times. Coach Prime also reminded them to be grateful for their health and to never take it for granted. As the team continues to compete on the field, they will also have Webb Walker in their hearts and minds, fighting his own battle with lymphoma.
