“It’s a serious situation, and it may not affect everyone the same,” the mother says. “It’s so simple to wear a mask. It’s the right thing to do. It’s the humane thing to do. Why not wear a mask, to protect yourself and to protect everyone around you?”
Rucker’s son, IU freshman offensive lineman Brady Feeney,during screening conducted by the program last month. He was isolated from his teammates and experienced breathing problems serious enough to warrant a visit to the emergency room. Indiana even paid for Rucker to come to Bloomington to be near Feeney — she could not physically be with him, per isolation protocols — while he recovered.
Rucker didn’t mean to alarm anyone over her son’s condition. What she wanted was for those unconcerned or casual about the dangers posed by COVID-19 to understand how quickly and closely it can hit home. Rucker said Feeney was tested immediately, per Indiana’s restart protocol, and given a complete physical. The program gave each player their own single room, and kept players in specific pods during workouts to limit person-to-person exposure as much as possible.
“The last thing I want is for anyone to think the Indiana University football program has done anything wrong,” she said. “They have been phenomenal through all of this.”
