Former Alabama player suffers serious medical emergency during Ohio State game
Scary scene from Columbus on Saturday as Cincinnati defender Kyriq McDonald has apparently experienced a medical condition during the Bearcats game against Ohio State.
While he is currently a member of the Bearcats, McDonald is a former Alabama defender. He joined Cincinnati this offseason and was granted a waiver to play immediately this season by the NCAA.
The redshirt sophomore is a native of Huntsville, Ala.
According to those in attendance, McDonald was immediately cared for by the training staff:

#Bearcats safety Kyriq McDonald is down on the field. Appeared to be convulsing when we went down. A lot of medical personnel on the field from both teams, immediately called for a cart/stretcher. Scary moment.
