JJ Weaver’s season is over with an ACL injury suffered in the loss at Florida, the redshirt freshman’s first career start for the Kentucky defense. UK still hasn’t announced the injury as an ACL tear—Mark Stoops would only call it a leg injury–but Weaver himself shared the news via his personal Twitter account Monday morning, his 21st birthday, of all days.
“Man I don’t even know where to start!” Weaver wrote. “This year have been the hardest of my life… my father got killed and I just found out I have a tore ACL! They say, God gives his hardest battles to his toughest soldiers.
