Jack Cichy out for the year with a torn ACL.

Huge blow, and you wonder if he'll be the same again.

Same happened to MSU with Ed Davis right before the 2015 season, missed the whole season, and came back in 2016 as a shell of his former self.  Went from best linebacker on an elite defense in 2014, to a LB who couldn't even contribute on a bad 2016 defense.

Well, we can change the preseason team now. Cichy was the best player on the team. He missed the second half of last year too.


Chris Orr will step up. I'm confident of that.

In a message on Twitter, Cichy said, "From walk-on to captain, it's been an unreal experience. I don't know exactly what's in store next, but I know I'm not done with football. ... We're gonna keep fighting and we have a helluva season coming."


...


Cichy suffered the injury during practice Tuesday but finished the practice, albeit with a slight limp, after the UW medical staff couldn't find anything wrong with the right knee after going through all the injury protocols. He also practiced Wednesday before the results of the MRI confirmed the injury. He is scheduled to undergo surgery on Friday.
"It was surprising to him," Chryst said. "These things happen. It always goes back to you feel for the individual."

He tore a pectoral muscle in the Iowa game - and played through it until he couldn't. Then he missed the rest of the season.


PC is thinking they will apply for a medical redshirt for this coming season so he can play next year.


Chris Orr and TJ Edwards will be the likely starters in the middle now. They may have anyway as there was some talk about moving "Three Sack Jack" Cichy outside.

That just stinks. It was worth tuning in to watch just to see that kid play.

A medical redshirt is no guarantee for this case. They are available to kids who miss two seasons to injury, which Cichy has not. He missed 7 games last year and will miss this year.


It's probably doubtful that the NCAA would grant him a 6th season. The Madison paper (Tom Oates) is writing that he should spend his time getting ready for the NFL given that he was thought to be at least a 3rd round pick going into this season.

Yeah, they are hit or miss on what constitutes being injured, but I think consistently missing only 7 games is too much to count that as a full year.
