The ankle injury Sean Maguire suffered during the Peach Bowl didn’t just cost his team a loss to Houston, it will also rob him of appearing in spring practice.
According to the Tallahassee Democrat, Maguire suffered a fractured ankle on a first quarter hit that briefly knocked him from the game. The paper reports he is set to surgically repair the ankle next week.
Maguire came back in and finished the game, hitting 22-of-44 throws for 392 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions in the Seminoles’ 38-24 loss to Houston. For the season, Maguire appeared in eight games, completing 112-of-189 passes for 1,520 yards with 11 touchdowns and six picks.
A rising senior, Maguire has been a good soldier for Florida State, backing up Jameis Winston for two seasons and splitting time with Everett Golson this fall. He’ll likely be behind the eight-ball when he returns to action as he will fight with redshirt freshman Deondre Francois and incoming freshman Malik Henry -- four-stars, both of them -- for the ‘Noles vacant starting position.
