BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Spring football is a critical time for young quarterbacks to get in a lot of work, and Indiana's Dexter Williams was really looking forward to taking advantage of his opportunities.
Williams, a freshman from Macon, Ga., figured to plenty reps this spring because starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is recovering from a torn ACL and not participating in the 15 spring workouts. Williams and Jack Tuttle are the only two quarterback on scholarship this spring.
But during Indiana's first week of practice, Williams also tore an ACL in a non-contact situation. He'll have surgery in a few weeks and likely will miss the 2021 regular season.
