It just wasn’t meant to be for senior safety Jarvis Byrd who will miss the rest of the season with the 3rd knee injury of his college career.

Byrd hurt his knee against Wake Forest two weeks ago. This news confirms the feared most Pack fans had when they saw he would not be playing against Syracuse this past week.

“Jarvis is a true champion,” said Doeren. “This team and staff love him as a brother and respect him as a leader. It is so unfortunate that a player like Jarvis, who has been through two other ACL surgeries, has to endure another. I know that he will have a tremendous attitude and will use all the support available to him to have a healthy recovery.”
