FSU TE Nick O'Leary in Another Motorcycle Accident, out for Spring

Less than a year after surviving a motorcycle crash that could have easily taken his life, Florida State tight end Nick O'Leary has been involved in another motorcycle accident—this one seemingly less horrifying but serious enough to sideline him for the rest of spring practice with cuts and minor injuries.

"He’s fine, just skinned up," said Seminoles head coach Jimbo Fisher, according to Brendan Sonnone of the Orlando Sentinel. "He just wrecked a motorcycle again. Skin and a swollen ankle. He can’t practice but he’ll be fine."

Per Sonnone, O'Leary's crash in 2013 occurred when he was cut off and hit by a black Lexus, which sent him hurtling some 75 feet from his bike and into the windshield of a bus. Though he miraculously walked away from the accident with nothing but minor injuries, it was hoped he had at least learned a lesson about auto safety and mortality.

Apparently, he didn't.

"I can be frustrated, he needs to be frustrated. It’s not important if I’m frustrated," Fisher said after this most recent crash. "What’s important is that he’s frustrated with it and learns his lesson."

O'Leary, the grandson of legendary golfer and 18-time major champion Jack Nicklaus, was one of Jameis Winston's most reliable weapons last season, finishing the year with 33 catches for 557 yards and seven touchdowns. In the Seminoles' 51-14 rout of Clemson—the signature win of a signature season—he delivered a hit on safety Travis Blanks that served as a microcosm for the game as a whole:

Unlike last season, Florida State has fostered nice depth behind O'Leary at the tight end position in 2014. Senior Kevin Haplea is back after missing 2013 with a knee injury, and freshman Jeremy Kerr has shown flashes of game-readiness this spring. As long as O'Leary stays safe and recovers as expected this summer, his absence this spring shouldn't much affect the team's fall performance.

But at this point, that's kind of a big if.
