After suffering a neck injury, many questioned if Jordan Pagano would ever walk again.
Rutgers Jordan Pagano gestures after he won a 12-0 major decision against Cornell's Jonathon Fagen in 2020. Last month, Pagano suffered a serious neck injury while coaching at a Rutgers practice.All Jordan Pagano felt was a jolt of electricity. It started in his neck and permeated through his limbs. By the time it touched his toes, he was in shock. His mind, meanwhile, was trying to process what just happened.
The move he attempted was nothing out of the ordinary. This was an everyday practice, and there was nothing different about the position of his body. This time, that chiseled, 200-pound frame, just happened to fail him. Pagano dipped his chin to his chest, pressed his hands firmly against the mat and tried to scoot away from his training partner, Billy Janzer. He never escaped as his body crashed to the mat motionless.
