Trevon Brazile - Will miss openerBrazile will miss Tuesday's season opener versus Central Michigan due to being medically unavailable (not related to COVID-19), Mitchell Forde of Rivals.com reports.
ImpactThe exact reason behind Brazile's absence remains unclear but it keeps him out of the picture for at least Tuesday's contest. Even when healthy, it's unclear how much of a role the freshman will have in the rotation this season.
