Former USF player Nick Schuyler's condition was upgraded to good Wednesday.
He will remain hospitalized, but should move out of the critical care unit. Schuyler is the lone man rescued after a boat carrying him, NFL players Corey Smith and Marquis Cooper, and former USF player Will Bleakley capsized Saturday. Schuyler's body temperature was 89 degrees when rescued, but he quickly recovered once in medical care.

Nick Schuyler, the lone survivor from a Florida fishing-trip disaster involving two NFL players before the search was called off, revealed that the four lost men at one point had a helicopter hovering over them.
The helicopter's light shined down on the four, but must not have seen them. Schuyler said the NFL players -- Corey Smith and Marquis Cooper -- were first to drift away in the rough waves. He called former USF player Will Bleakley "a hero" for swimming under the capsized boat they were hanging onto to retrieve life vests. Bleakley eventually was separated too. The search for Cooper, Smith, and Bleakley was called off at sunset Tuesday.

The Coast Guard announced that it will end its search for NFL players Corey Smith and Marquis Cooper and former college player Will Bleakley at 6:30 ET Tuesday.
A life vest and cooler were found near where Nick Schuyler was rescued, but he is currently the lone survivor. The Coast Guard officially calls the hunt "suspended," but it won't resume barring an unexpected break. "Any search and rescue case where we have to stop is disappointing," Capt. Timothy Close said. "I think the families understood we put in a tremendous effort." Asked why the search stopped, Close said "It has to do with our confidence level that we would find anybody on the surface level at this point."

The father of Raiders special teamer Marquis Cooper told the AP that the Coast Guard is losing hope of finding his son, Corey Smith, and Will Bleakley, who are lost off the Gulf of Mexico after a storm.
The Coast Guard privately informed the families that the time frame of the search has made officials pessimistic. Nick Schuyler's rescue helped at first, but the remaining three have now been in the water for up to 72 hours.

The Coast Guard said Tuesday that Corey Smith, Marquis Cooper, and Will Bleakley put on their life vests after their boat capsized Saturday.
The one man rescued, Nick Schuyler, said the boat overturned as they were pulling up anchor. The four men then swam under the boat and retrieved their life vests. Schuyler was also wearing a rain coat when found.
