Overview
- Kahoun was injured making a tackle in the second quarter on Friday night when he appeared to strike helmet-first and was stabilized with a neck brace and a backboard before being stretchered into an on-field ambulance.
- Boston College issued an official halftime update saying Kahoun had movement in all extremities and was being taken to a local hospital for further evaluation.
- Multiple outlets, citing ESPN, reported he was transported to Brigham and Women’s Hospital with his father but the school has not disclosed any imaging results or a long-term prognosis.
- The 6-foot-2 redshirt sophomore transferred from Notre Dame this season, was starting for the Eagles and led the team with six tackles at the time of the injury, making his loss an immediate blow to Boston College’s defense.
- Players and coaches from both teams gathered at midfield as trainers worked, Kahoun gave a thumbs-up while being loaded into the ambulance, and the college community is awaiting hospital imaging and neurological exams that will determine his recovery and availability to play.
