Wake Forest loses senior defensive tackle to ACL injury
Posted by Kevin McGuire on August 4, 2014, 11:50 AM EDT

Wake Forest opened fall camp on a bit of a downer this weekend. Senior nose tackle Johnny Garcia has likely played his final game with the Demon Deacons. The school announced Monday Garcia had suffered a torn ACL for the second time in his collegiate career. The school expects Garcia to miss the 2014 season as a result.
Wake Forest says the injury happened on Saturday in practice. An MRI later confirmed the worst outcome, a torn ACL. The injury means Wake Forest loses one of the veteran starters expected to anchor the defensive line this season after losing three from last year’s roster.
Garcia played in all 12 games for Wake Forest in 2012 and 2013. As a redshirt freshman in 2011 Garcia chipped in at tight end before flipping back to nose tackle in 2012. A torn ACL in 2010 as a true freshman sidelined him for the season.
Given that Garcia has suffered one torn ACL as a freshman and could miss a full season this year, it may be worth filing a medical waiver to the NCAA for a sixth year of eligibility. The NCAA has a decent track record of honoring a waiver under these conditions. There is no word yet on whether or not Garcia or Wake Forest will pursue a waiver at this time.

Don't care what team, hate injuries. Part of the game and all, but always unfortunate.

Except if it's Ohio State. Anyone at that Crack Jack factory can burn for all I care.

Wake seems to be having some bad luck right now... they just suspended their top RB from last season last week.

His name is just Johnny? Is he related to Cher and Madonna?

LOL. No his last name is G@rcia. The system must have deleted it, Scoot analyst, because I had his last name in the thread header.

Wow, isn't this the third loss of a player before the season begins? I know the RB last week but I think there was another loss before that.

He must be the first Brazilian one-namer to play D1 football.

how many starters have they lost so far? That really sucks for them.

Wake Forest names true freshman QB John Wolford the starter. Enrolled in May. It's going to be a long, long, long, long year.

Not good...

Wake Forest tight end Zach Gordon was carried off the practice field on a stretcher Sunday. There was no update on his status as of noon on Monday from the hospital.

For the record, this is the Earth's most popular one name Johnny.

Look at that dress, it's awful! and those shoes, geez.

Update on Zach Gordon Wake Forest..

On Monday, Wake Forest Director of Sports Medicine Dr. David Martin and Head Football Athletic Trainer Nick Richey released an update on Gordon’s condition.
“During Sunday’s scrimmage, Zach Gordon sustained a serious, non-life threatening spinal injury. All of our structural testing thus far has been favorable. He remains hospitalized at Wake Forest Baptist Health,” the statement read. “Zach is improving and based on all indications, we expect him to continue to improve. We do not yet have a firm timeline for his return to activity.”
Gordon, a redshirt sophomore, was projected to start or contribute significantly to the Demon Deacons this season. He played in all 12 games during the 2013 season.

Wow. We were going to beat them anyway but they might not even be able to field a team soon.
