Zak Herbstreit is home after spending five days in the hospital due to a heart condition, according to his father, ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit.
Zak, a tight end at Ohio State, is facing a “three-to-four month” recovery, the elder Herbstreit said during an“We had a setback with Zak, with his health, this past Friday,” Kirk said. “So really the last five or six days have been kind of a whirlwind of he’s been in the hospital with some issues with his heart, and we’ve just been trying to keep up with that.
“We brought him home yesterday, which is great, but it’s not like, normally you get out of the hospital and you’re cured and everything’s good. He’s in good spirits, he’s home with us, where his mom can take really good care of him. And this is just going to be a long process to kind of see how his heart responds to some of the medications that he’s on. And this is like a three- or four-month kind of thing to kind of see how it recovers.
ESPN announcer Kirk Herbstreit talks to his son, Ohio State Buckeyes tight end Zak Herbstreit , prior to the Peach Bowl in the College Football Playoff semifinal at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.“So we’re at the beginning of this. We’re going to be positive. And it’s a long haul, and he’s going to get better.”
Initially, Zak, a third-year Buckeyes walk-on who played in three games last season, was diagnosed with pneumonia, though an echocardiogram revealedDespite being in peak physical condition, Zak would have never known that he had issues with his heart without the EKG — and the elder Herbstreit believes that people should learn from his son’s experience.
Just an update on Zak. He came home yesterday from the hospital and is happy to be with his family. With that being said, like I mentioned earlier, this is a long process. Will take months to see how his heart is responding to his medication. We are hopeful he will be okay but…“I really would encourage anybody who’s playing sports to just go a little more than just doing your normal physical,” Kirk said. “The echo is what you really need to discover some things that potentially can be scary.
