Liberty senior tight end Brandon Apon injured his shoulder Saturday in Liberty’s scrimmage, and has been ruled out of the Flames’ season opener against Kent State, as first reported by Chris Lang.

Apon is one of Liberty’s leading returning receivers from a season ago where he caught 5 passes for 98 yards and 2 touchdowns. He had turned many heads during camp, and was going to be counted on as a receiving threat in an offense that lacks many experienced receivers.
Expect senior Peter Gagliardi and redshirt-freshman Canon Smith to look to fill in for Apon during his absence.
