Robert Nkemdiche, Ole Miss defensive lineman, is in stable condition after falling some 15 feet outside an Atlanta-area hotel. Nkemdiche reportedly broke through the glass of his hotel room, climbed a wall, walked a ways, and then fell from the wall. He was, however, found conscious and immediately transported to a nearby hospital.

"I heard the glass breaking, breaking, breaking and then it was quiet for a little while and then I heard some more breaking," said witness Darla Allen, via wsbtv.com.

Allen said she thought about calling police then, but said she was afraid to bring any attention to herself, seeing as how she was in an adjoining room.

"I could hear a little bit of voices low, I got scared, I didn't want them to hear me because my room is actually a locked off adjoining room and so I got nervous about that, so I just laid there and then I heard more noises so I peeked out the window and I could see glass," Allen said, via wsbtv.com.

When police searched inside the hotel room, they reported finding small amounts of marijuana. As of Sunday afternoon, no charges had been filed, that according to ESPN.

Nkemdiche's coach at Ole Miss, Hugh Freeze, had this to say in a statement, via ESPN:

"We are still learning about the matter, but obviously Robert's well-being is our greatest concern."

Nkemdiche was Ole Miss' top recruit in 2013. The star defensive lineman was named to the AP All-America second team this season after garnering 29 tackles (seven for loss), three sacks, two pass break-ups and seven quarterback hurries, that according to CBS Sports. And while Nkemdiche is just a junior, he's listed as one of the top NFL prospects if he declares for the draft. ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. lists Nkemdiche as the Number 5 prospect on his "Big Board" and the top defensive tackle.
