PROVO — Just a week into fall camp, BYU has lost a tight end to injury.
Tight ends coach Steve Clark said Wednesday that redshirt freshman Hank Tuipulotu has re-injured the ACL in his knee.
“It was non-contact,” Clark told ESPN 960. “We’re assessing him right now but it looks like we won’t have him. It’s really hard because of how well he was playing. The first three or four practices, he was one of the most explosive players we had in the offense.”
Tuipulotu suffered an ACL injury last September before undergoing season-ending surgery.
Tuipulotu, a 6-foot-3, 240-pound native of Fort Mill, South Carolina, is the son of former BYU running back Peter Tuipulotu.
