When he suffers repeated concussions, it can cause a person to do things that are out of character.

Really? According to who?

Using your logic, all the current and past athletes who have ever suffered concussions should have killed themselves by now..........

Unusual to show up so soon, in a college athlete.

Sounds like another Junior Seau.

My nephew just suffered his second concussion in less than a year.

This last one happening during recruit training at Great Lakes. He woke up in hospital. Unfortunately the navy gave him a medical discharge under honorable conditions.

They did tell him he could try again in two years.

True, but as in character the university is already proclaiming that their medical procedures would not allow an injured player to return too early. Bring on the autopsy. He was a walk-on and a tackling dummy.

This, from The Sporting News seems a lot more likely suicide cause than a concussion for a college kid. Unfortunately.

A text sent to his mother shortly before friends said Karageorge went for a walk hinted at trouble. Reports say he had broken up or argued with his girlfriend, and concern centered on his mental state.
