Central Florida cornerback injured in La. shooting

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Central Florida cornerback Johnell Neal was injured during a shooting in his hometown of Baton Rouge, La.

His condition wasn't immediately clear, the university said. Coach George O'Leary said he spoke with Neal and the player's mother.

A phone message left with Baton Rouge police was not immediately returned Friday.

Neal graduated from UCF last week and was expected to start work on another bachelor's degree this summer.
