Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver Keontez Lewis left the team’s 44-0 win over the Kent State Golden Flashes early after suffering a scary injury on a catch attempt.

Lewis attempted to track a ball from quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. that was thrown over his head in the first quarter. He found himself in the back of the end zone as he caught it but fell and crashed headfirst into the brick wall that lined the end zone of Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma.

Lewis was motionless on the ground for several seconds before the team’s training staff came over to tend to him. He was strapped onto a stretcher and carted off the field.

"That was just a heartfelt thing," Sooners defensive end R Mason Thomas said. "That’s my teammate, my brother, and he’s in pain. I hope he’s OK. We’ve got to definitely send some messages out to him, being in the hospital. Hope he’s doing all right."

Lewis was sent offside for additional testing and the outlook was "promising," OU Sports Medicine said.
