In this Sept. 29, 2018, photo provided by Dartmouth College, Seth Simmer (96) is flanked by Tommy Ciesla (69) and Niko Lalos (90) during warmups before an NCAA college football game between Dartmouth and Penn in Hanover, N.H. During his freshman season at Dartmouth, Seth Simmer was having trouble hearing the linebackers call signals from his defensive tackle spot just a few yards away. What was first diagnosed as an ear infection brought on by a severe head cold turned out to be a brain tumor that was making him deaf in his left ear. Simmer is one of 30 nominees for the Mayo Clinic Comeback Player of the Year Award. (Tom McNeill/Dartmouth College via AP)
