Yet another member of the Florida football program has been ruled out for the remainder of the year.
Sophomore EDGE rusher [autotag]Jack Pyburn[/autotag] took to social media on Monday afternoon that he has to undergo surgery that will force him to miss the final three games of the year.
Pyburn suffered a torn ACL in the third quarter against Arkansas.
“Thank you to everyone for the prayers and well wishes after Saturday’s game,” Pyburn wrote. “Unfortunately the injury I received on Saturday is a season-ending tear to my ACL. I can promise y’all one thing and that is I will be back soon and better than ever. Love this team and my brothers.”
Pyburn collected 17 tackles this season, including a tackle for loss against South Carolina. The sophomore finished Saturday with four total tackles before sustaining the injury.
The Jacksonville, Florida, native joins a short list of Gators who underwent knee surgery after leading tackler Shemar James was ruled out after the Georgia loss.
The Gators are short-handed going into its matchup with the LSU Tigers on Saturday night. Kickoff is set for 7:30 ET and will broadcast on the SEC Network.
