Linebacker Frankie Telfort will not play football for USC because of a heart condition. The condition was discovered while at USC.

"This is obviously very difficult news for Frankie, his family and all of us in the football program," USC head coach Pete Carroll said in a statement. "But we're very thankful doctors discovered the issue before it led to anything worse."

"Everybody's football career unfortunately ends at some point and no one's ever ready for it," Carroll said. "For some guys, it comes sooner than expected. But you're a football player and a Trojan for life, and Frankie is definitely both."

Telfort will remain on scholarship at USC.

That's really sad to hear. I'm sure he was devastated. At least it was caught before it caused any major problems. Good luck to him, and good for USC for keeping him on scholarship.

Yeah I'm glad they're letting him stay on scholarship.

If they took it from him they would be douches.
