Injury Update on Miami Hurricanes quarterback Emory Williams
Emory Williams was the ‘starting quarterback’ against the Florida State Seminole’s after Tyler Van Dyke got benched. Emory was taking to the hospital Saturday evening after he severely injured his left-arm and that injury was on the Hurricanes last final drive.
Williams was injured on a fourth-and-2 run as he stretched his arm and dove for a first down. Multiple defenders crashed down on him, and he appeared to be in serious pain as he lay on the ground. An air cast was placed on his left arm, and he was carted off the field.
Williams, a true freshman, started the game over veteran Tyler Van Dyke to try to jump start the offense. Van Dyke had thrown 10 interceptions in his previous four games and did not play well in a loss to NC State last week.
It was an unfortunate conclusion to Williams’ second start of the season. He kept Miami in the game with timely plays, including an 85-yard touchdown to Jacolby George in the final frame to cut the deficit to seven. He finished 8/23 for 175 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions while rushing five times for -7 yards.
The Miami Hurricanes announced Sunday morning in a statement.
“Miami quarterback Emory Williams suffered a left arm injury during the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game and was transported to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, the statement said. “He flew back with the team Saturday night.
“We will update his status when we have more information”.
And the plan is that he will be ready for Spring ball next season!
Williams, a true freshman, did not have surgery before leaving Tallahassee, but it was not revealed whether he will undergo surgery in South Florida.
Prayers to Emory Williams!!
