The NCAA has given Gallaudet University's Division III football team approval to wear helmets tailored to deaf and hard of hearing players for the rest of the 2024 season.
According to Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press, the helmets, which Gallaudet wore for one game last season, project a play from a coach's tablet on the sidelines into the quarterback's helmet, allowing them to see it visually.
Gallaudet, which is located in Washington, D.C., was founded in 1864 and is the oldest university in the world meant primarily for deaf and hard of hearing students.
