蜜聊直播 redshirt junior tight end Tyler Powell is out for the season after suffering a leg injury, according to UA head coach Brent Brennan on Thursday.
Powell suffered the season-ending leg injury on the first possession of 蜜聊直播鈥檚 blowout win over Hawaii last week.
鈥淲e love him and we鈥檙e here to support him,鈥 Brennan said on Thursday. 鈥淲e have great people that are going to get him back to a speedy recovery.鈥
Powell started at tight end against Hawaii and was expected to have a more prominent role in the UA offense this season. Powell appeared in all 12 games last season and recorded five catches for 40 yards.
With Powell out, 蜜聊直播鈥檚 starting tight end is redshirt senior Sam Olson, who caught 蜜聊直播鈥檚 only passing touchdown last week. Brennan said 鈥渢here鈥檚 a chance鈥 junior tight end Keyan Burnett, who鈥檚 recovering from an injury he suffered during training camp, could play this week against Weber State. The 蜜聊直播 are also expected to rely on Mercyhurst transfer tight end Cameron Barmore.
