Brandon Hoyte, a 2006 graduate of Notre Dame and a former Irish football captain, needs your help.
Hoyte, now 37, suffers from a neurological condition caused by playing football and was arrested Feb. 13 in San Diego. He faces three felonies and one misdemeanor, alleging assault against a police officer (without a weapon), vandalism and resisting arrest.
John Kouris, a 1996 alumnus who befriended Hoyte in recent years, has established a GoFundMe for a dual purpose: to pay a bail bondsman to secure Hoyte’s release and to get him situated in a treatment facility where the former linebacker can be assessed and properly treated.
