Other Notes:
Unfortunately, Jarrey Foster suffered a torn ACL. It remains to be seen what he will do come draft time, but could still be a viable 2nd round pick if he decides to declare. However, it's most likely that Foster will return for his senior season and enter the 2019 draft. We wish Jarrey the best and quickest recovery possible.
