The fears about the severity of Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker's injury were confirmed on Sunday.
Before the injury, Hooker was in the midst of an All-American-caliber season. He helped Tennessee win its first eight games and vault to No. 1 in the season’s initial College Football Playoff rankings. Included in that run was a massive upset over Alabama at Neyland Stadium that vaulted Hooker into the Heisman Trophy conversation.
For the season, Hooker has thrown for 3,135 yards and 27 touchdowns with only two interceptions. He also has 430 yards and five scores on the ground. Before transferring to Tennessee, Hooker spent four seasons at Virginia Tech. After redshirting his first season and playing sparingly in 2019, Hooker was in and out of the lineup as the Hokies' starter throughout 2019 and 2020. He threw for 2,894 yards and 22 touchdowns at VT, but decided to transfer when the coaches opted to prioritize another quarterback.
