Wyatt Sexton has Lyme Disease

Seminoles quarterback Sexton to miss 2005 season

Tallahassee, FL (Sports Network) - Florida State junior quarterback Wyatt Sexton will miss the entire 2005 season after he was diagnosed with Lyme Disease.

"Wyatt has active Lyme Disease that has resulted in neuropsychiatric and cardiovascular deficits. I have strongly recommended intensive therapy with a goal to obtain an optimal state of health. This should include academics and athletics. He should not be stressed by these two disciplines for now."

Sexton's family thanked Seminole fans for their support of the QB during the diagnosis, but criticized the media speculation regarding their son:

In a statement released through FSU's Sports Information Office, Wyatt's parents, Joy and Billy Sexton, said: "We appreciate the many expressions of support for our son shown by those in our community, church and the Florida State football family. It has been a very difficult time for Wyatt. It has also been hurtful to Wyatt and our family to see some media reports that were simply not true. We expect him to fully recover. In the meantime, we ask that his privacy be respected."

Maybe he got Lyme Disease from hanging out at Darryl Hall's house.
