Mississippi State cornerback Will Redmond suffered an ACL tear and will miss the remainder of the season, according to reports Thursday.
The Jackson Clarion-Ledger reported that the injury occurred during practice this week. The university has yet to confirm Redmond’s status.
Earlier this month, the Bulldogs lost safety Kendrick Market with a torn ACL sustained during a loss to Texas A&M.
Redmond had a team-leading two interceptions and 25 tackles while starting the first seven games. He also ranked second on the team in passes defensed with three.
NFLDraftScout.com projects Redmond as the ninth-best cornerback prospect in the 2016 NFL Draft class.
Redmond’s spot is likely to be filled by Tolando Cleveland and Cedric Jiles. Cleveland has started four games this year and accumulated 24 tackles.
