Bundrage suffered the injury early on in the contest against North Dakota State. He was taken out of the game and didn’t return. He didn’t record any catches.
Iowa State was mum on the injury and there was hope that it wasn’t serious, but unfortunately it will cost him the season. You would expect that Bundrage will be applying for a medical redshirt to gain back this lost season. Bundrage is currently a redshirt junior and would still have two eligible years if the hardship waiver is granted.
For this season, if there’s any silver lining, the wide receiver corps is the deepest on the team. Expect Lazard to become a starter at the “X” position and Montgomery will move from the “Z”. Dondre Daley should continue stating at the “Z” and Jarvis West will be starting at the “F”.
