Recruit visits Emergency Room then commits to Hokies.
On Saturday morning while at Virginia Tech, Facyson was rushed to a nearby hospital ER after having difficulty with breathing, eating and swallowing. Facyson was diagnosed with a abscess in his throat area and was given a shot of antibiotics.
“It just came out of the blue,” Facyson told the AJC. “I didn’t think it was anything serious but then it started affecting everything else. We went to the ER, which I was glad about. Because if I had waited later, I would’ve probably had to get [the abscess] drained.”

Most use a three-strikes-and-you're-out penalty structure — the first offense warranting no action, the second a suspension for a percentage of games and the third a dismissal or a one-year ban.
Others allow three positive tests before dismissal, and some don't have a dismissal policy at all.
They range in severity from Georgia's rigid structure — first positive test, two-game suspension; second, four games; third, dismissal — to the lenient one at Ole Miss, where the first two positive tests call for no penalties.
