Florida TE Ingram has a torn ACL

(from Sporting news) Florida senior tight end Cornelius Ingram confirmed to Sporting News on Thursday that he has a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Ingram hurt his left knee during a one-on-one drill in practice Tuesday and received the results of an MRI on Thursday afternoon. He confirmed the torn ACL through a text message.

Ingram, who considered entering last spring's NFL draft, likely will miss the 2008 season and is expected to undergo surgery to repair the injury. Since he redshirted in 2004, Ingram would need to apply for an NCAA waiver if he wanted to return to school for 2009. He could choose to enter the 2009 NFL draft.

Ingram started five of Florida's 13 games last year and ranked fourth on the team with 34 catches and 508 yards. Sophomore Aaron Hernandez and classmate Tate Casey will fill Ingram's place.

I watched this Barkley kid in an all star game last year and he is the real deal! As a junior he had a very good grade point average and ran a charity for Marine families from Camp Pendleton this is a very mature kid. I like to see kids that commit to schools early so they don't get hounded by the recruiters on a daily basis. I am also glad that he commited to USC by the way!! lol!!
