Former Dothan High standout and current Troy receiver Jabre Barber will be out for the foreseeable future with a lower leg injury, head coach Jon Sumrall revealed Monday.
Barber was injured late in the second quarter during Troy’s 27-10 win over Southern Mississippi on Saturday night.
“I would say he’s out for the next couple of weeks … I don’t have a definitive time on his return, but he is out for the foreseeable future.” Sumrall mentioned redshirt freshman Peyton Higgins may now have an expanded role and is confident he and others will be able to take up the slack. “It affects me a lot,” Pierce said when asked about Barber’s injury. “Me and Jabre are like brothers. We grew up very close. He’s in good spirits and we’re looking to get him back rather sooner than later.”
“Gunnar was available last week, but just didn’t play him,” Sumrall said. “I wanted to protect him out of an abundance of caution for his health and safety. He practiced all week and he was cleared to play, we just wanted to only use him in an emergency.
