There was a scary moment in the first half of Saturday’s game between the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Ohio State Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium as Bearcats redshirt sophomore safety Kyriq McDonald was carted off the field following a “convulsion.”
Jacob Myers of the Columbus Dispatch provided some updates as the events were unfolding:
Broadcast reporting a Cincinnati player went into a “convulsion” on the field, saying there’s no need to show it on TV. Wow.

With the game being broadcast on ABC, sideline reporter Allison Williams was able to catch up with McDonald’s mother, per Myers.
Sideline reporter Allison Williams said Kyriq McDonald’s mom told her Kyriq has a history of seizures. Crazy, crazy scene. https://t.co/Hd6jMk02L8
