Tennessee sophomore Emmanuel Negedu -- who had to be revived with a defibrillator after collapsing Monday -- was still at the UT Medical Center resting and having tests run Tuesday morning, a source told CBSSports.com.
Negedu collapsed at the football practice facility after lifting weights.
A source said the forward had no pulse when members of the UT athletic training staff arrived.
Negedu averaged 7.2 minutes per game last season and appeared in all 33 contests. He originally signed with Arizona out of Brewster Academy but later enrolled at Tennessee after getting a release. Whether he'll ever be cleared to play again is now uncertain.
"We just spoke with E-Man and he is in great spirits," Griffin Guess, the Hollywood producer who is married to supermodel Marisa Miller, told CBSSports.com early Tuesday. Guess, like Negedu, is a Brewster Academy graduate. He and Miller befriended the Nigerian during a trip to Brewster two years ago. They have remained in contact ever since and even attended a UT game in Knoxville last season.
"Marisa and I are going to go see him," Griffin added. "We're just happy he is feeling well."

UT's Negedu revived with defibrillatorSo he collapsed and needed to have his heart restarted with electric shocks? That's called cardiac arrest. Why does the story go out of its way to not say how bad this was? Does Parrish think we can't handle the truth? The kid literally died and had to have his heart restarted. Probably will never play football again (or at least shouldn't) if his heart will fail under stress. Very sad story, but at the same time a happy story in that he is alive and can go on to have kids and live for a long time.
