BREAKING: Kentucky quarterback Nik Scalzo tears ACL

Tough news out of Kentucky football practice today.

Following today’s practice, UK head coach Mark Stoops announced freshman quarterback Nik Scalzo’s injury on Saturday was, in fact, a torn ACL.

According to Stoops, Scalzo’s injury came on a non-contact play and was the same knee he injured back in high school.

The Kentucky freshman will have surgery and miss the entire 2019 football season.
