South Carolina football got bad news about promising wide receiver OrTre Smith.
After Will Muschamp revealed he’s been battling a genetic issue that affects his knee, the team announced Smith will have surgery next week and will miss the remainder of the season. Having played two games, he will have the chance to redshirt.
“It’s a genetic issue on his knee,” Muschamp said. “It is very, very painful. It is something that he’s been dealing with for a long time. Really frustrated for him.”
Smith is expected to be back in time for spring practice.
