Former Notre Dame football linebacker Bodie Kahoun left Saturday’s game with an undisclosed injury and was transported to an area hospital, Eagles coach Bill O’Brien told reporters, “according to Boston College.”
A third-year transfer from Roanoke, Virginia, Kahoun was injured on the second defensive series while making a tackle on Irish tight end Jack Larsen after an 8-yard gain, “per the South Bend Tribune.”
Kahoun stayed down for a minute or two before walking slowly to the sideline medical tent with team trainers, “as reported by NDInsider.”
Now in his first season with the Eagles, Kahoun previously missed a month this year with a head injury suffered against Rutgers in Week 2, “noted Yahoo Sports.”
This contest marked his fifth game back in the lineup following that earlier absence, “stated the newspaper.”
Coach O’Brien addressed the situation with reporters after the final whistle blew, “sharing that the team was concerned.”
“Very troubling,” O’Brien told reporters regarding the severity of the sudden health scare.
“I don’t really have an update,” O’Brien added when pressed for medical details by the media.
“I know his parents are here, and they’re with him,” the coach explained about the player’s family support.
“We have great medical care around him,” O’Brien noted regarding the facility handling the emergency.
“I don’t have anything more for you than that,” the coach concluded about the ongoing medical evaluation.
Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman also offered comments after his team’s victory, “according to game coverage.”
“You never want to see anybody go down, but especially one of your former players,” Freeman stated during his postgame press conference.
