Miami Hurricanes junior cornerback Al Blades Jr. will miss the remainder of the season with myocarditis, he announced on Tuesday night.
“As of last week, I was going through COVID protocols when doctors had some concerns about my bloodwork,” Blades wrote in a Twitter post. “After undergoing an MRI on my heart, I have been diagnosed with myocarditis. This will cause me to be out for a minimum of three months.
“It hurts to not to be out there with my brothers, but I will always be a Hurricane. I’m looking forward to returning to the field in 2021.
