Former Gophers football player Casey O’Brien announced on Monday that his cancer has returned. O’Brien was first diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and underwent treatment. He was declared cancer-free in 2018, but the cancer has since returned.

O’Brien made the announcement on Twitter, saying that he is “heartbroken” but “determined to fight.” He also thanked his family, friends, and supporters for their love and support.

O’Brien was a standout player for the Gophers from 2013 to 2016. He was a two-time All-Big Ten selection and was named the team’s MVP in 2016.

After graduating from Minnesota, O’Brien signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent. He was released by the Saints in 2017 after being diagnosed with cancer.

O’Brien’s cancer diagnosis is a reminder that cancer can affect anyone, regardless of age or health. It is also a reminder of the importance of early detection and treatment.

If you are concerned about cancer, please talk to your doctor. Early detection and treatment can save lives.
