Utah star rusher Booker reportedly to have surgery on knee
Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham recently called his star running back Devontae Booker a "question mark" for Saturday's game against UCLA.
If news of his knee surgery is accurate, prepare for Booker to be immediately downgraded.
Sources tell me that Devontae Booker has scheduled minor meniscus surgery for today. Hopeful to return for bowl game. #sources #utes

Can confirm this. No other ligament damage, but bowl game return may be a tall order. https://t.co/P9jZJaXrXs
