Wow, I hope Jacolby is ok. Maybe just a sprain. The kid has the world at his feet. To quote Bill Parcells "Football can be be a cruel heartless moron". Please update us with positive info.

Well shoot, I hope that the kid will be alright and that Morrilton will be up and running in week 4 when the Goblins go down to visit the Devil Dogs.

Seen on Twitter that he's expected to miss 6-8 weeks with an LCL injury

IMHO even if there was a possibility that he might play late in the year they shouldn't let him and risk his career. There are BIG things ahead for him.

Yeah he's out for the year. Just really stinks but that's life.

Whoever said one knee injury away from whatever, just know you jinxed him !! Lol I will forever hold you responsible!!

JessieP · August 15, 2018, 10:03:50 pm

So unfair, heartbreaking. I hope the young man realizes he has a lot of football ahead of him. I jokingly said Morrilton was one torn acl away from being a 500 team. I'm sick about that. Often times when a devastating injury like this happens the team rallies and picks up the slack. I wouldn't proclaim the season lost just yet. Pulling for Morrilton and praying for this exceptional young man.

This is a special young man , I mean when's your he last time you remember a player being offered by every sec after sophomore year ? Very special. Hit on sideline on an unnecessary play. Stinks.

Couldn't agree more. It may break his heart missing the season but his best days are ahead. Rushing back would be a massive mistake.

Jessie the Jinx needs to turn his attention to the Razorbacks opponents this year

AirWarren · August 16, 2018, 09:31:45 am

Keep Treylon off the field tonight for Warren!

Maynard G Krebs · August 16, 2018, 04:45:55 pm

wishing him a rapid and full recovery

I'm heart broke over J.C. I'm frustrated with the Sr's but kids will be kids and lessons are being learned. I'm prepared to persevere as any good fan should be and I'm sure glad it's football season again. I've kinda missed (a few of) you guys

It really sucks that we've lost Jacolby for the season. I feel terrible for him after all of the hard work he has put in and all of the hype after last season. For someone so talented to miss a season of his high school career has to be very tough, but I agree that if he heals up properly and comes back, his senior season should be a great thing to watch. Best wishes to him in his upcoming surgery and recovery. Also, best wishes to our Devil Dogs as they go out there and compete this year without their field general...."Next man up!!"
