The Miami Hurricanes will have to try to get revenge on the Wisconsin Badgers without perhaps their best player.
Gerald Willis, named a second-team All-American by multiple outlets in the past two weeks, will miss the Pinstripe Bowl to begin rehabbing a hand injury.
Willis, who projects as an early-round pick in the upcoming 2019 NFL Draft, repeatedly said he planned to play in Miami’s bowl game regardless of destination. On Friday, the defensive tackle said in a Twitter post, however, he was advised to begin rehabbing rather than play in the Bronx, New York.
“I just would like to start off by saying that God is awesome and that without Him and His favor over me, I could not and would not be at this point in my life,” Willis wrote.
