At his age the tumor that would be of biggest concern is a glioblastoma. This is the one that has a very high mortality rate in younger patients.
It’s unlikely we see him play for LSU again depending on the location of the tumor even if it is a benign tumor like a meningioma. Can only hope he survives and is able to live as normal of a life as possible.

this is the primary point.
As much as I love LSU football - it takes a huge back seat when these concerns are on the table.
Prayers for this young man to enjoy a normal life from here on out.

If the rumors of vertigo are correct, from my very brief reading on the subject, acoustic neuromas seem to be a distinct probability. Those are almost always benign, as I understand it. Glioblastomas do cause severe headaches and seizures, though, and some rumors did say that as well, though seizures seem to be common amongst almost all tumors occurring within the skull.
Let us all pray that it was as benign and that the tumor and surgery were minimally impactful on any part of his brain long term.

Would that cause vertigo though? Don't those grow to the front of the brain? If he's having vertigo wouldn't it more likely be on his cerebellum?
I assume not an Acoustic Neuroma since those don't need to be biopsied since they never spread.
