Gunheim update

Published 9:00 pm Sunday, August 20, 2006

Greyson Gunheim just talked to the beat writers for the first time since his injury. He said he got leg whipped during the kick return and at first was afraid that it was more serious than it actually is. He said it was the first time he ever missed any drills because of an injury. He expects to return quickly and says he will play against San Jose State, saying the injury is a mild strain of his MCL. He will not require any surgery.

Incidentally, Gunheim and Jordan Reffett have started sporting a mohawk, which he says he did to fire up the team. Other players have started to pick up on it, as has basketball recruit Spencer Hawes. Gunheim said Tyrone Willingham seemed to like the hairdo.
