Significant contributors on both special teams and the defensive line rotation won’t be able to do the same in 2014, Boise State has announced.
According to a press release, junior safety Taylor Loffler has been forced to retire from the game of football due to medical concerns. Additionally, an injury will force senior defensive tackle Justin Taimatuia (pictured) to the sidelines for the entire 2014 season.
Tyler Horn‘s season is over, but his career as a member of the Boise State Broncos isn’t finished.
The school announced on Friday Horn, a senior, will miss the rest of the season due to knee injury he suffered during the Broncos’ opening contest against the Ole Miss Rebels.
Horn injured the knee in the second half of the game only to return to the sidelines wearing a heavy brace. Prior to the injury, Horn had four tackles including one for a loss.
Horn played in 34 games during his career, and his absence along the defensive front leaves a big void.
