ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit's son, Zak, has been hospitalized. It was recently reported this Tuesday that he's in stable condition at Wexner Medical Center on Ohio State’s campus.
A few hours later, Kirk Herbstreit provided an update on Zak's status.
Herbstreit revealed that his son has a "long journey" ahead of him. He also shared a note from Zak regarding this situation.
Zak revealed that cardiologists are running a series of tests on him.
"I have had a bit of a setback these past couple of weeks. Not feeling right. Culminated with tests results this past Friday that forced me into the hospital," Zak Herbstreit said. "I have some of the best cardiologists looking after me, and I am beyond appreciative. We are doing a number of tests and conjuring a plan to ensure that I will be able to be back to feeling normal again. I appreciate the overwhelming support over the past couple of days. I am feeling good and hope to be out of the hospital soon.”
There's currently no timetable for Herbstreit's recovery process.
Herbstreit joined Ohio State's roster as a walk-on in 2021. He's actually the third member of the family to suit up for the Buckeyes.
We're certainly hopeful Herbstreit makes a full recovery.
