Quote:I never heard of any college team telling someone not to walk on because of concussions he suffered during high school. Even the NFL lets players with a concussion history join teams through free agency or the draft. This story should be a wake-up call to do a psychological exam on players with a known history of multiple concussions.

 

I can imagine his family feeling guilt about not trying to help him when the depression began or realizing there was a problem. My hope is the NCAA will learn from this and make changes to protect players who get concussions.

 

Please stop it...you don't think that if a college program knew a kid had concussions that they would let him play?  That makes no sense.

 

Also, just so you know he was a 3 year varsity wrestler for OSU, not just a high school wrestler.

 

As far as his family, I'm sure they are grieving and wondering what they could have done....a lot of people with psychological issues are hard to help.  Many times they dont want the help.  For someone that asks for people to understand you, you sure are judgmental.
