Sad...

Very sad news.

Yes

The last contact anyone had with him was when he sent a text to his mom that he's sorry if he is an embarassment to her.

Damn, that's got to be tough for the family. Too bad the guy wouldn't let anyone help him.

Very sad situation.

Just a horrible story

Fuckin' a

The evidence of traumatic brain injuries leading to severe personality disorders in a percentage of football players is becoming overwhelming. The sport has to change dramatically.

I agree completely, but he was a wrestler at OSU until this year when he walked onto the football team. The concussions in football tend to be more obvious, happening on a big it.

In wrestling, less severe but more common blows to the head can have the same effect. Studies have shown that the cumulative effect of lesser hits can be as bad as the effects of what we think of as a concussion. This is bad news for wrestlers, boxers and linemen, who have a lot more contact than most other athletes.
