LEXINGTON - One day after the Netflix show chronicling his senior year and 2018 ACL injury was released, Kentucky freshman quarterback Nik Scalzo suffered the same injury again.

Scalzo, who is one of three quarterbacks featured in season three of the Netflix show "QB1: Under the Lights," reinjured his knee in a preseason scrimmage Saturday. Quarterbacks are held from contact in practice, but Scalzo's knee gave out when he planted to make a cut on a run.

"Disappointed for him," Kentucky football coach Mark Stoops said Tuesday after confirming Scalzo will need another surgery.
