Miami loses LB Gordinier for year

Sep 4, 2016

The Hurricanes linebackers group took yet another blow as redshirt freshman Jamie Gordinier will miss the season with a knee injury. A source told CanesInSight that it is an ACL tear.

Gordinier suffered the injury on the opening kickoff of the game and his knee buckled when he was double teamed by two FAMU players, according to a source.

The Canes started three freshmen at linebacker yesterday, but Gordinier was expected to be a heavily used player and he came in the game during the team's second defensive stand.

Charles Perry and Mike Smith are two candidates to see more snaps in Gordinier's absence. The coaches also hope that Darrion Owens can continue to progress and become healthy enough for full contact by the middle of the season.

I don't remember ever seeing anything quite like this at one position. This is just plain bizarre.

Not a big loss. I hope the kid gets well soon.

Better Talent will have to step up and play.

If we had better talent ready to step up and play, Gordinier wouldn't have been expected to get a lot of PT you idiot. Nice try though.

It wasn't the opening kickoff. He played Lb on famus second drive and appears to have injured it on the 14-0 kickoff as he didn't play after it.

Feel terrible for this kid. Tore his meniscus in his knee 1st few minutes of state championship game senior year and played the entire game.
Nobody gave this kid a shot. White kid from NJ and he was out there second series. He'll be back. Don't bet against this kid.

Smith and Perry were expected to play a lot too. I'm not knocking Gordy. Smith and Perry are much more talented than Gordinier.

This sucks but I love love love our 3 starters and when Owens makes it back it will be huge. Smith and Perry will be ballers too. Just cannot have another injury at this spot though. Gordinier imo is less talented then Smith or Perry though so it could of been worse in terms of the team but I feel awful for the kid as he is Cane thru and thru.

3 freshman starting LBs(regardless of how talented) and Mike Smith, Charles Perry, Terry McCray, and Darrion Owens(who still isn't ready) as the depth. Absolutely terrible. Thanks to those idiots Young and Grace.

they might be better athletes but i think Gordy understands the position better at this point.
