As always, several top prospects have been lost to injury. With the college season just 4 weeks hold, and most conference games yet to be played, there will undoubtedly be more players lost.

TCU Defensive End/Outside Linebacker prospect Tommy Blake is out for the next two or three weeks and likely to request a sixth year from the NCAA.  Blake’s problems are of a “personal nature” and the TCU staff seems secretive about them. Hopefully Blake can get himself straight, or risk being the next Dimitrius Underwood.

South Carolina linebacker Jasper Brinkley is recovering from knee surgery well. The question remains if Brinkley will return to South Carolina or go directly to the NFL. It may be best for Brinkley to return to school if a medical redshirt can be secured. There are concerns about his foot speed and recovering from a severe knee injury will not help his time.
