Senior defensive end Blake Serpa, the Chippewas’ leader in tackles for loss and sacks in 2014, will be out for the season opener because of a lingering knee/hamstring injury according to Nate Schneider of the Mount Pleasant Morning Sun.
Schneider announced the injury news via his Twitter late Monday morning:
Coach Bonamego basically made it official today that Sr. DE Blake Serpa (knee/hamstring) is out Thursday. Hope is a return for Monmouth game
