Haynes King suffered the injury on Saturday, Oct. 12 in a win over North Carolina.

Immediately following that game, head coach Brent Key was vague about the status of King moving forward. He shared that he didn’t have an update on his starting quarterback and added that there’d be more information soon. However, he did note that King’s spirits were high and King was “enjoying the victory.”

King has completed 71.2 percent of his passes this season for 1,568 yards and eight touchdowns to only one interception. King also runs well, with 353 yards and six touchdowns on the ground. The Texas A&M transfer was having the best year of his career prior to the injury.
