SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Former Notre Dame football linebacker Bodie Kahoun, who is now playing for Boston College, left Saturday’s game with an undisclosed injury and was transported to an area hospital, Eagles coach Bill O’Brien told reporters, according to “reporting by Yahoo Sports”.
The 6-foot-2, 225-pound third-year transfer from Roanoke, Virginia, was injured on the second defensive series while making a tackle on Irish tight end Jack Larsen after an 8-yard gain, per “Boston College coverage tracked by USA Today”.
Kahoun stayed down on the field for a minute or two before walking slowly to the sideline medical tent accompanied by team trainers, “NDInsider reported”.
Now competing in his first season with the Eagles, Kahoun previously missed a month of action earlier this year due to a head injury suffered against Rutgers during Week 2, “according to game notes”.
This matchup marked his fifth game back in the lineup since recovering from that initial absence, “Marcus Freeman detailed in statements”.
Kahoun recorded two tackles against his former team before exiting on his 12th defensive snap of the afternoon, “the South Bend Tribune confirmed”.
“Very troubling,” O’Brien described the situation to reporters after the final whistle, adding, “I don’t really have an update. I know his parents are here, and they’re with him. We have great medical care around him. I don’t have anything more for you than that.”
Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman also addressed the frightening incident during his postgame remarks following his team’s 41-7 victory, “noting in his opening statement”.
“You never want to see anybody go down, but especially one of your former players,” Freeman told the media, stating, “I don’t know the extent of his injury, but our prayers are with him as he goes through this injury, whatever it was.”
