Initial ACC Availability Report List Jim Thorpe Semifinalist Out against NC State
In this story:
News earlier in the week suggested that something was amiss with the Miami Hurricanes' availability, and now, with the initial ACC availability report, the news is officially confirmed.
The Miami Hurricanes will be without their Jim Thorpe Semifinalist, Keionte Scott, this week and for the foreseeable future due to a lower leg injury. The Canes will also be without star corner OJ Frederique Jr. and running back Mark Fletcher Jr.
The Hurricanes will now rely on their depth as they strive to secure a spot in the College Football Playoff. However, with these massive blows, a glaring issue may have been overlooked until now.
