Oklahoma confirms season-ending Achilles injury for WR Nick Basquine
Unfortunately for all involved, the speculation has proven accurate.
Friday, rumors began to surface that Nick Basquine had suffered a rather significant injury that would likely force the wide receiver to miss the entire season. Saturday, first-year head coach Lincoln Riley confirmed that Basquine suffered an Achilles injury that will sideline him for all of 2017.

Last season, Basquine, a former walk-on, caught 20 passes for 265 yards and a touchdown. He was expected to have a bigger role in the slot this season for the Sooners prior to the injury.
Basquine will have another season of eligibility remaining in 2018 as he will enter his fifth year in Norman. Whether he?d be eligible for a sixth season remains to be seen as he?s already used his redshirt.
