You can be there and be understanding, and if he will,let him talk it out (mostly listen). But if indeed this is going to be an end of his football career, this is going to be a major change in his life.
First, encourage him to get the very best medical care. If you're in a small town, get him to a major hospital. The difference in care and the results, can be dramatic. At minimum, he wants a second opinion, maybe a third.
It sounds like the focus of his whole life, with encouragement from parents, has been playing football. That's going to make his new life quite a change. His whole identity has been wrapped up in the game. A change in personality to some degree, would not be uncommon.
There is a huge world outside of football, but he has to believe that and see that. That will take some time. If your college offers counseling for students, he may find it helpful to give that a try.
