JSU's Ivy to sit out rest of the season

JACKSON, Mississippi -- Jackson State quarterback LaMontiez Ivy suffered an ankle injury against Alabama A&M on Oct. 17. He sat out the Tigers' next game against Arkansas-Pine Bluff and played in parts of the following two contests against Mississippi Valley State and Alabama State, but wasn't quite himself.

After he was sacked late in the first half against the Hornets on Saturday, it appeared Ivy re-aggravated that ankle injury, which led JSU interim coach Derrick McCall to make the decision to sit Ivy for the remainder of the season.

"Right now, in my mindset, I just told him that we'll just go ahead and rest you for the rest of the season and try to let that ankle heal and let that ankle get well. We'll rely on Jarin (Morikawa) and Jordan (Williams) to take us through the rest of the season," McCall said at his weekly press conference on Monday. "He (Ivy) won't be playing anymore this year."

After the game, McCall said Ivy had been battling a high-ankle sprain.
