Mr. Conner announced Friday that he has been diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. The 20-year-old will start a chemotherapy regimen next week that will last six months, though doctors are optimistic about his chances.

Stanley Marks, deputy director of Clinical Services for UPMC Cancer Center, said the average cure rate for a person with Mr. Conner’s diagnosis is between 85 and 95 percent and he is hopeful Mr. Conner can play football for Pitt next season.

He was a great running back to watch. Can't wait to see his comeback.
