Miami (FL) junior wide receiver Ahmmon Richards has reportedly suffered a disabling neck injury that will prevent him from ever playing football again, according to the Miami Herald.
Richards has appeared in just one game for the Hurricanes this season because of a knee injury. Earlier this week, head coach Mark Richt told reporters that Richards, who was kept out from practice, would be considered for a redshirt this season.
Richards was considered a potential early-round NFL draft pick. The 6'1", 205-pound wideout broke out during his freshman campaign, catching 49 passes for 934 yards and three touchdowns.
