” I found this out after I tested positive for COVID and had to have actually more screening done as procedure. The Lord operates in mysterious ways, however I could actually feel him on this one.”
” Earlier today I learnt I need open heart surgery to fix a bicuspid aortic valve that I was born with,” Smith wrote on Instagram. “Although this will regrettably end my 2020 season, it is really a blessing that we found this as my heart is badly bigger and wouldnt have lasted a lot longer.
Smith, who was picked by the Vikings in the 5th round of the 2019 draft, said the surgical treatment should permit him to resume his profession. Smith began for four seasons with the Trojans and was chosen the Pac-12s protective freshman of the year in 2015.
Former USC linebacker Cameron Smith revealed Saturday that he has a bigger heart that will need open heart surgery and require him to miss out on the 2020 season with the Minnesota Vikings.
