CU’s Peake tears ACL, Out for Season

The Clemson University Athletic Department reports that Charone Peake, the second leading receiver on Clemson’s third ranked football team, suffered a torn ACL during practice on Tuesday and will be lost for the season.  He suffered the injury in a simple non-contact drill.  The MRI was read Wednesday and it revealed a torn ACL. Peake had eight catches for 84 yards and a touchdown in two games so far this year, second on the Clemson team to Sammy Watkins in both receptions and yards.  Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney said after practice Wednesday that Adam Humphries would move into Peake’s starting position.  Humphries has seven catches for 53 yards in two games this year.
