Reports are surfacing that Virginia Tech's Ty Outlaw tore his ACL during a pickup game.
The injury happenend at least a couple weeks ago to his right knee in a pickup game. Outlaw had surgery July 11th, but will likely miss the entire 2017-18 season. The bad news for Ty Outlaw is that he is a reshirt senior and will have to petition the NCAA for a sixth season. The odds are in his favor, but you never know with the NCAA.
David Teel of the Daily Press broke the news this afternoon and got a comment from Buzz Williams...
“As good a kid as there is,” Hokies coach Buzz Williams said via text. “Hate that it happened, but injuries are a part of sports.”
Outlaw put together a strong finish to his junior season, averaging nearly 14 points per game in his last 8 games played. Losing the sharp shooting Outlaw for the season is a blow for a Virginia Tech team that was a popular dark horse pick.
