Texas A&M Head Football Coach Dennis Franchione announced today middle linebacker Jared Morris, a senior from Brownwood, Texas, suffered a knee injury and will miss the rest of the 2003 season.
"It is very disappointing to lose Jared to this knee injury because he is a fifth-year senior," Coach Fran said. "Jared worked so hard in the spring and off-season and played extremely well in the first game and a half. He is one of our leaders and we will look into every possibility of extending his eligibility."
Morris recorded 14 tackles in the season opener against Arkansas State including one behind the line of scrimmage. In Saturday's game against Utah, Morris recorded four stops and was named by the Aggie coaching staff as the Special Teams Player of the Game.
Morris underwent surgery late Sunday to repair a torn patella tendon in his left knee.
