Thomas Hunter Next to Fall to Foot-breaking Turf

Well, it has happened again.

Clemson senior starting tight end Thomas Hunter broke his foot on Sunday. His career as a Clemson football player is now officially over as he'll miss the Music City Bowl game against Kentucky.

For those keeping score, that's the third broken foot this season.

Both Chansi Stuckey and Michael Hamlin suffered the same injury earlier this season, although both were able to return to the field.

Is it the shoes? Is it the turf? Is it karma?

At any rate, Hunter had this to say about his injury:
"This is difficult to accept," said Hunter. "It is a tough way to end your career, but I have no regrets. When I came here all I wanted to do is run down the hill. I got to play in over 40 games and be a part of some very big games here. This probably won't sink in until we get to Nashville and I am watching from the sidelines."
Best of luck to you in the future, Thomas. Your presence will be missed and your contributions to this football team were impressive. Thanks for choosing Clemson.
