The Front Row

Crowell was all but sure to redshirt anyway but that is worrisome that he needs another surgery. I know it was a bad injury but I was not expecting this.

I hope so - that sounded like a horrible injury and I just hope the kid can come back and play.

He wouldn't miss a whole season on the basis of an elective hardware removal. Odds are that he has a non-union (non-healing fracture) of his distal tibia and fibula. This is a notoriously common and difficult-to-treat complication of distal tib-fib fractures - particularly OPEN fractures (what we used to call "compound" fractures) - and I seem to recall his fracture being described somewhere as "open".

I am keeping my fingers crossed for his sake, but this is NOT the kind of news bite you want to hear about someone with his type of injury.

All the more reason to offer Dion Dawson or Trae Clark. Corwell was problably sitting out anyway, but hope all heals well

According to the blue board scum has turned him down also. What gives? No one wants the kid
