CSU tight end out for season

Deseret News (Salt Lake City), Sep 12, 2007 by Associated Press

Medical tests confirm Colorado State star Kory Sperry has a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, ending the senior's season.

Surgery has not been scheduled. A timeline for recovery would put him back on the field by next summer should he decide to return next year and petition the NCAA for a medical hardship waiver. Sperry, a 6-foot-6, 260-pound tight end from Vineland, Colo., was injured in the first quarter of CSU's game against Cal on Saturday. His three- touchdown performance in the opener against Colorado earned him the John Mackey award as the national tight end of the week.
