Texas A&M’s Bryce Anderson taken to hospital, has feeling in limbs

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Texas A&M safety Bryce Anderson has feeling in his limbs after being taken to a local hospital following a play that left him motionless late in the first half at Notre Dame.

After the Aggies’ 41-40 victory over the Fighting Irish, coach Mike Elko gave an update to reporters, saying that “we’re still praying for Bryce. At this point, all signs are positive. I don’t think we’ve given every diagnostic test. But so far, the tests that we’ve run through, have come back positive. We’ll continue to pray that that comes to a positive resolution.”

Anderson was carted to the locker room with 55 seconds left in the half. His head collided with Notre Dame tight end Eli Raridon on a 25-yard completion. Teammates immediately summoned medical personnel, who spent about 10 minutes stabilizing Anderson’s neck. The senior from Beaumont, Texas, gave a thumbs-up as he left the field.

Texas A&M’s entire team came off the sideline and knelt on the field while Anderson was down, and several players came over to him before he left.

Anderson had four tackles in the victory.
