On a day in October, 2010 when he was playing in a football game he hit a player on the other team accidentally with his head. From this hit he broke his neck and became paralyzed from the chin down.  When he was in the hospital the doctors told him that he would not be able to breathe normally ever again but he did.

Although that is really good he could only breathe for an hour and a half at a time.

Even though it is probably the easiest thing he could do but because of his injury his brain can not get to his legs and tell him to stand.
