Former LSU receiver Demetrius Byrd is in the intensive care unit of a Miami hospital following a serious automobile accident Sunday, according to an LSU spokesperson.

Michael Bonnette, LSU’s associate athletic director for sports information, confirmed that he spoke with Byrd’s representatives Monday morning. There was no other information available about his condition.

Byrd, who attended Miami Central High School, was getting ready for this weekend’s NFL draft. He’s rated by Scouts Inc. as the No. 13 wide receiver in the draft. He caught 37 passes for 513 yards and four touchdowns last season for the Tigers.

Byrd transferred to LSU from junior college and caught seven touchdown passes as a junior.
