The program that has long taken pride in calling itself “Tight End U” finds itself facing some dangerous depth issues at the position after losing another one of its veterans to a knee injury.
Hurricanes sophomore tight end Brian Polendey traveled with the Hurricanes to Toledo this past weekend but did not play against the Rockets. On Tuesday, Miami announced Polendey was set to undergo season-ending surgery.
He is the second upperclassman tight end to sustain a serious injury this season after junior Michael Irvin II injured his knee during camp. At the time, Miami said Irvin was expected to be out approximately four months.
