The incident, which reportedly took place Thursday at Lake Ransom Canyon, happened during a team function. "Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers!" Red Raiders head coach Gerry Glasco said in a social media post. "Glad everyone is okay and recovering well!" Sports Illustrated reported that three members of the team were involved in a jet ski accident and that injuries were to legs and hands. KAMC News in Lubbock, Texas, reported that two jet skis were involved. "There were thankfully no critical injuries as a result of the accident," a Texas Tech spokesperson told USA Today. "All injured student-athletes have been treated and are expected to make a full recovery."
