Booker, a 2014 four-star signee, made his long-awaited debut against Bowling Green last week. He finished with two total tackles before the knee injury sidelined him.

As for who replace him, senior captain and former walk-on Joe Burger was announced as the starter over the Horseshoe public address system.
