Tight ends (more season-ending surgery) scarce at The U, but receiver Jeff Thomas is everywhere

The Miami Hurricanes are running low on tight ends.

But their receivers — notably sophomore speedster Jeff Thomas — are everywhere.

On the day it was announced that sophomore tight end Brian Polendey will undergo surgery for a season-ending right knee injury, Thomas — the nation’s leader in yards per catch, No. 6 nationally in all-purpose yards and No. 10 in combined kick returns — assured, as did fellow wideout Lawrence Cager, that everything will work out fine.

Thomas agreed that there would be more multireceiver sets in light of only two healthy scholarship tight ends left on the roster.
