The Hurricanes will also be without linebacker Malik Bryant and freshman wide receiver Daylyn Upshaw. However, the Hurricanes will have star DB and Jim Thorpe Semifinalist Keionte Scott back on the field, ready to go.
He was missing for the past few games, and it helps that the star player is back with Brown out. Not only will he be back, but OJ Frederique Jr. will also be back. The Canes Secondary is back to their opening night rotation. It will be needed against the Aggies, with their elite wide receivers.
