NORMAN, Okla. - Oklahoma tight end Jermaine Gresham, a preseason All-American, will miss the 2009 season after undergoing knee surgery, Tuesday. The senior led OU in touchdown receptions last season with 14.
"We feel badly for Jermaine," said OU Head Coach Bob Stoops. "He worked very hard and very selflessly to get himself ready for the season. We share in the disappointment he is experiencing now and will do everything we can to help him in his rehab efforts.
"The good news is that he is expected to heal fully. Many athletes have had this procedure and bounced back at 100 percent. We expect that to be the case for Jermaine."
Gresham missed the season opener against BYU, then underwent additional evaluation before athroscopic surgery on Tuesday.
Gresham, from Ardmore, Okla., entered the 2008 campaign with 26 career touchdown receptions, just seven shy of the NCAA record for tight endsFrom soonersports.com
