Wow. Scary. Great that he's back at it, hopefully healthy.
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.

The ESPN article said the cause wasn't known, and doesn't mention whether he had COVID or any vaccination in the recent past.
Having had COVID recently is a known risk for such strokes. (Most studies I found about COVID-vaccine-related strokes were related to the AstraZeneca and J&J vaccines, not widely used in the US. One paper that includes mRNA vaccine presents some risk numbers and a conclusion: "The risks of most of these [haematological and vascular] events were substantially higher and more prolonged after SARS-CoV-2 infection than after vaccination in the same population.")
The bivalent mRNA vaccines were approved August 31 as booster shots, so he could have taken advantage of such a vaccine in the 7 weeks before his stroke. North Carolina reports 4-6% of all ER visits during Sep & October were for COVID symptoms. Neither can be discounted without more specific knowledge of his situation.
