South Carolina sophomore wide receiver OrTre Smith, one of the highest-rated recruits of the Will Muschamp era, could miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury, Muschamp said Sunday night.
Smith has a subluxing kneecap, Muschamp said, meaning his kneecap regularly dislocates partially. The issue is genetic and has bothered Smith all season, Muschamp said. Smith caught three passes for 25 yards in the first two games of the season but did not play Saturday in South Carolina’s 37-14 win over Vanderbilt.
Smith will undergo a “scan” on Monday in hopes of getting more information on how to proceed, Muschamp said.
