Senior linebacker Aaron Clark out for season with knee injury

Estimated reading time: 1 minutes

Virginia athletics has reported senior linebacker Aaron Clark will be out for the rest of the season because of a knee sprain suffered during Saturday’s game against USC. The senior’s injury will require surgery.
Clark recorded five tackles in the game before he had to be helped off the field after an early third-quarter play.
The Richmond-Times Dispatch reported that Clark has not redshirted so it is possible he could return next season. The Times-Dispatch also suggested junior Denzel Burrell may replace Clark at linebacker.
In 2007, Clark tallied nine tackles in 13 games and helped Virginia defeat Georgia Tech when he caused then-junior Yellow Jacket Andrew Smith to fumble a punt deep in Georgia Tech territory with Virginia down 23-21. The turnover led to a Cavalier touchdown and an eventual 28-23 Virginia win.
