DURHAM, North Carolina -- The North Carolina Central University football team suffered three losses on Saturday at Florida International University in Miami.The visiting Eagles lost the game to FIU by a score of 39-14, but also lost two starters for the rest of the season due to injuries.
NCCU junior FCS All-American cornerback and return specialist Mike Jones suffered a fractured ankle in the first quarter, while junior transfer receiver Khalil Stinson fractured his hip on a second-quarter punt return.
NCCU head coach Jerry Mack says the loss of Jones and Stinson has a “huge impact” on the team.
“This is very unfortunate for these two young men and their families,” said Mack. “Mike is obviously a key player for us and I was looking forward to watching Khalil continue to grow as we enter conference play. We’re sure they will be back in 2016 ready to go.”
