One of the most disruptive members of Wyoming’s defensive line has seen his year come to a premature end.
The football program announced Tuesday that Carl Granderson (pictured, No. 91) has sustained a torn ACL. The sophomore defensive end suffered the injury in the first quarter of this past Saturday’s win over Air Force.
As a result of the injury, Granderson will miss the remainder of the 2016 season. Because of the fact that Granderson has played in half of the Cowboys’ games, he will not be eligible for a medical waiver. He still, though, has his redshirt to use.
Granderson’s six tackles for loss and four sacks through six games are tops on the team. His three quarterback hits are good for second.
After playing all 12 games as a true freshman last season (36 tackles, six tackles for loss, one sack), Granderson started the first six games in 2016.
