Tuesday an already depleted UNLV Rebels (2-3, 1-0) receiving corps was dealt another significant blow. Redshirt freshman wide receiver Darren Woods Jr. will miss the remainder of the 2016 season. Woods suffered a knee injury Saturday during UNLV’s 45-20 home win over Fresno State (1-4, 0-1).
Woods is the third Rebels wide receiver to have his season cut short by injury. A week before the 2016 opener against Jackson State, junior Kendal Keys had season ending knee surgery. Freshman Brandon Presley suffered a foot injury in that game, ending his season as well.
Woods ranks second on the team in receptions (13) and receiving yards (189).
