Boston College Linebacker Bodie Kahoun Taken From Field in Ambulance

Medical staff stabilized him with neck and head braces then stretchered him into an ambulance bound for Brigham and Women’s Hospital with his father.

Overview

  • Kahoun was injured while making a routine tackle that appeared to involve helmet-first contact and he remained down as medical staff attended to him.
  • Team trainers immobilized his head and neck on a backboard before an on-field ambulance was brought onto Alumni Stadium for evacuation.
  • ESPN’s broadcast showed Kahoun giving a thumbs-up as he was loaded into the ambulance and driven away with his father aboard.
  • At the time of the injury he led Boston College with six tackles in the game and had started his BC career last week after transferring from Notre Dame.
  • No official medical diagnosis has been released and reporters say he was taken to Brigham and Women’s Hospital, so further updates from the team or hospital are expected next.
