Rufus Porter

[Dubya261]

Got a text from a friend today confirming Rufus Porter is done for the season due to the neck injury he suffered against Illinois. Sigh.

[techman05]

heard that as well. wishes for good recovery. Also, time for others to step up.

What is our LB rotation now?

starters--Randle, Mitchum
rotators--Hester, Schrang ???

We're gonna have to break in one of the young guys, ready or not....

[SteveyTI]

What is the actual diagnoses?

[okiealdawg]

Hope he will be okay for next year.

[SteveyTI]

I guess the neck roll didn't work.

I'm very sorry to hear about this. I had no idea Porter was hurt the other night. I hope this young man gets better soon, and that this injury isn't something that will bother him later in life.

[boxerdog]

I wonder if Hakmi is interested in playing LB? He's big and fast. I'm serious! If Fitte isn't ready to step up, we have to find somebody who can run...

Incidentally, very sorry for Rufus Porter. He was becoming a good player and I hope he'll make a full recovery. I became aware of his diagnosis some time ago and was sad for him and his family.

[rebelboi]

are they also going to try and get him a medical redshirt like King?

What is the diagnosis? Cervical fracture? Soft tissue? Nerve related......?

Terrible news - very disheartened for this young man. Hope it is something he can overcome. Disappointing from a team basis as well since we need all the experience at this position we can get - Porter is no Cole but at least he had a few reps at LB.

I heard T2 fracture.

[GonzoDawg]

That's bad news. He was having a great game. Hope he is doing well. Good luck Rufus.

[JuBru]

When was he hurt?
