HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - Cabell Midland football star Jakob Caudill was serioiusly injured in a fall over the July 4th weekend and is in the hospital.

A GoFundMe account is taking donations and there will be a fundraiser at the Tanyard Station HWY 55 restaurant Monday where a percentage of its’ sales will go directly to the family.

Over the last few days, social media has shown immense support from his alma mater and other high school football teams in our area.
