Flashback: Sean Mulcahy with Westport friends after last Saturday’s game. WestportNow.com photo
Westports Sean Mulcahy, a UConn senior tri-captain who has played in all 45 games during his Huskies football career, will miss his final game Saturday at Wake Forest.
Mulcahy, a defensive tackle who is a 2000 Saples grad, has been struggling after suffering a neck and shoulder stinger over a month ago.
He has played through it until last Saturday’s home-finale against Rutgers, but aggravated the injury and left in the second half.
Unless the Huskies (8-3) earn a bowl bid, Mulcahy’s career will end after not only playing in all previous 45 games, but starting 37 straight. He will be replaced by sophomore Deon McPhee.
ғIt’s a shame, UConn coach Randy Edsall said during a conference call with reporters Thursday, according to The Day of New London. ԓBut a young man’s health is more important than anything else.
Edsall did say Mulcahy will travel with the team today to Winston-Salem, N.C. and will walk out on the field with fellow captains Sean Feldeisen and Uyi Osunde.
