Tyler Hunter, a fifth-year senior, is the latest Seminole to go down with an injury after tearing his meniscus in practice in late last week. Hunter, who started all 14 games last season, will miss the remainder of spring practice, head coach Jimbo Fisher said.
In all, Hunter is the sixth potential starter on defense who will likely miss the rest of spring camp, according to ESPN.com. Senior defensive tackle Derrick Mitchell (back), senior linebacker Reggie Northrup (torn ACL vs. Oregon), redshirt sophomore linebacker Matthew Thomas (shoulder), sophomore defensive end Chris Casher (shoulder) and redshirt senior linebacker Terrance Smith (toe) have all been out throughout the spring.
On offense, projected starter at center Ryan Hoefeld and fullback Freddie Stevenson are out with knee injuries and right tackle Chad Mavety is out with foot and concussion issues.
In all, the Seminoles “practiced without at least 20 players” on Saturday, including “all three tight ends, five defensive linemen and three offensive linemen.” according to the Tallahassee Democrat.
Fisher is taking the injury situation in stride as his team prepares for the April 11 spring game.
“It’s part of football,” Fisher said. “Next guy up. That’s why we recruit.”
