Clemson coach Dabo Swinney announced some unfortunate injury news on Sunday.
The Tigers will be without true freshman offensive lineman Brayden Jacobs for the rest of the season. According to Swinney, Jacobs suffered a foot injury while celebrating with teammates on the field after the Louisville game.
Here’s a clip of the moment where Jacobs seemingly suffered the injury:
Jacobs signed with Clemson as a 4-star recruit in the class of 2025. He was the No. 178 overall player and the No. 19 offensive tackle in the country for the class of 2025, per 247 Sports Composite rankings. He’s played well this season as a true freshman and figures to be a big part of what the Tigers want to do up front moving forward.
According to Pro Football Focus, Jacobs has played 363 snaps so far this season and has the second-highest blocking grade on the team. Jacobs has played both left tackle and left guard so far this season for the Tigers.
Clemson is 5-5 this season and has two games remaining. The Tigers will close out the year with matchups against Furman and South Carolina.
