Liberty's Jamey Chadwell Recovering After Successful Surgery for Serious but Treatable Condition

Diagnosed before the 2025 campaign, the issue was treated after the season on medical advice.

Overview

Liberty said the procedure occurred earlier this week and expects Chadwell to resume regular duties before spring practice.
The school did not disclose the nature of the condition and asked for continued prayers and support for his family.
Doctors detected the condition late last summer and planned post-season treatment as the best course.
The Flames went 4-8 in 2025, closing with four straight one-possession defeats.
Chadwell is 25-13 in three seasons at Liberty, including a 13-1 debut with a Conference USA title and Fiesta Bowl appearance, after a 39-22 run at Coastal Carolina.
