timmyboy Posted August 18, 2008 Report Posted August 18, 2008 Lake Catholic tailback Randy Greenwood learned Friday he will miss his entire senior season because of injury. Originally thought to be sidelined for at least six weeks, Greenwood was evaluated by doctors Friday, when it was discovered he has a broken fibula (leg bone) and ankle. "It was worse than they thought," Greenwood said. "They said I should make a full recovery in six months." Greenwood will have surgery Wednesday at the Cleveland Clinic. He suffered the injury during a scrimmage on Thursday after he made a sideline catch and was tackled. A few days ago, he orally committed to the University of Akron. Greenwood (6-0, 180) said he has not yet spoken with Akron coaches but the family expects the school will honor the scholarship offer. Greenwood, one of the top five players in Northeast Ohio, has excelled as a tailback, receiver, cornerback and punt returner. He tallied 953 yards rushing and receiving, 13 touchdowns and four interceptions last year. he was picked as the 3rd best player in all of northern ohio by the plain dealer. makes me wonder if this will have an affect on his offer from the zips.
