Evans out for season with torn ACL
Redshirt sophomore tailback Darren Evans of the Virginia Tech football team will miss the 2009 season after suffering a torn ACL in his left knee Tuesday in practice.
“He was evaluated by Dr. Marc Siegel and Dr. Gunnar Brolinson and received an MRI at Montgomery Regional Hospital that showed the ACL tear. He will be re-evaluated later this week to see when the ACL reconstruction surgery will take place. Our hope is to be able to repair the knee prior to classes starting so that he can get started on his rehab and continue his course work,” head athletic trainer Mike Goforth said.
“Obviously we are all saddened by the results of his MRI, but we all know what type of young man Darren is and we have no doubt that he will come back stronger than ever.”
Evans, from Indianapolis, Ind., was the MVP of the Orange Bowl and rushed for 1,265 yards and 11 touchdowns last year. Evans redshirted in 2007. He originally sprained his knee in Friday’s practice.
