College football player taken to hospital after collapsing on field during game

Iowa State tight end Benjamin Brahmer collapsed on the field after a severe hit to his head and neck during a college football game against Arizona State.

Brahmer lay motionless for several minutes before being taken off the field on a cart and transported to Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames for further evaluation. He was reported to be awake and alert. Head coach Matt Campbell described the hospitalization as a precaution, expressing optimism about Brahmer's recovery. Brahmer, in his third season with the Cyclones, has been recognized as a Big 12 Honorable Mention and was a freshman All-America selection.
