Iowa State’s Park takes leave from team for medical reasons

Iowa State quarterback Jacob Park will not play against No. 3 Oklahoma on Saturday and is taking a leave from the team for undisclosed medical reasons.

The school announced Friday that Park will go on leave while working through personal health issues, but he remains a member of the squad. Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said in a statement that he is not sure when Park will return, and he cannot discuss specifics.

“Jacob is a great young man dealing with some personal medical concerns,” Campbell said. “We are committed to helping him cope, supporting him on all levels and helping him prepare to get back on the playing field with his teammates as soon as possible.”
