The injury occurred without contact as Madden attempted to plant and cut off his left leg.
Madden had been the story of spring football after switching over from linebacker to fill a need as a power running back and thriving in his new role. The Mission Viejo product was also reprising his high school role as a Wildcat quarterback.
He played in all 12 games at linebacker and special teams as a true freshman including one start against Colorado.
