That happened to Alexander Montgomery, a very promising WR who had overcome a lot of adversity to get there. It ended not just his season but his career.
He had been regarded as a good prospect already and then was a superstar in Florida’s 8A playoff as a senior. He set a record for receiving yardage in the 8A state championship game and also had 3 TDs, one on a wild one handed grab. He also excelled on defense throughout the playoffs. At Kentucky he’d already played well on the field and looked to have three really good years ahead of him.
I don’t know if that’s the episode you’re thinking of, but I recall that one, and how unfortunate it was. I’ve also wondered if he found his way into coaching.
