NC State senior linebacker Germaine Pratt posted a photo on Instagram this morning that appeared to show him signing a contract with an NFL agent, and per a report from Inside Pack Sports, school officials have confirmed that Pratt will not be participating in the Gator Bowl.
This isn’t exactly a shocking development primarily because we know that Pratt is banged up—he was not able to play in the season finale against UNC because of an injury. I don’t know the extent of the injury, but it makes a lot of sense to avoid the risk of making anything worse or re-aggravating something.
