Shaw suffered the injury during practice today when he fell to the ground and a teammate landed on him.
“It’s really unfortunate,” Yellow Jackets coach Paul Johnson said in a statement provided by the school. “Jaybo was playing really well and was having a good camp.”
This from the school’s sport information department:
Shaw was a key contributor last season as a true freshman when he filled in periodically for injured starter Josh Nesbitt. Shaw played almost the entire game against Mississippi State (a 38-7 victory) and started the next week against Duke (a 27-0 victory). He completed 9-of-14 passes for 230 yards in the shutout win over the Blue Devils.
The Flowery Branch (Ga.) native finished his rookie season with a completion percentage of 62.5 percent and a pass efficiency rating of 194.02. He also ran for 200 yards and three touchdowns.
Sophomore Tevin Washington will take Shaw’s place on the backup to starter John Nesbitt.
