The injury is a setback for the promising prospect who was pushing for a starting position along the defensive line this year. He was coming on strong after redshirting last season to adjust to the college game after an abbreviated but star-studded prep career.
The USC defensive line features two returning starters in All-American Leonard Williams and spring football MVP Antwaun Woods, but the third spot is wide open now with transfers Delvon Simmons and Claude Pelon in the mix.
