Wake loses starting rover to season-ending shoulder injury

Wake Forest’s first loss of the 2019 campaign came at a loss on the personnel side as well as the won-loss ledger.

During Wake’s wild 62-59 loss to Louisville Saturday night, Luke Masterson went down with an upper-body injury and didn’t return. Tuesday, head coach Dave Clawson revealed that the starting rover won’t return for the foreseeable future, either, as he will miss the remainder of the 2019 season because of a shoulder injury.

“We lost some kids that will hurt us, but that’s football,” the coach said. “Everybody goes through it. You feel more bad for the individual player. Luke was playing at such a high level.”

Masterson has started a dozen games in a row for the Demon Deacons, six this season and six last.
