Gamecocks Alson Jeffery undergoes surgery on broken hand

USC announced Monday afternoon that the wide receiver underwent surgery today to repair a broken bone in his hand. Jeffery returned to the win over the Tigers after suffering the break and was on the receiving end of a post-injury touchdown pass. The school’s release states that Jeffery will begin rehab next week and will be re-evaluated in the next couple of weeks. The Gamecocks won’t know when and where they will be bowling until Dec. 4, but the game should be contested deep enough into bowl season to allow the junior to return, provided there are no setbacks of course. He’s officially listed by the school as “probable” for the bowl game. Jeffery, who will likely leave a year of eligibility on the table and make himself available for the April NFL draft, leads the Gamecocks in receptions (45) receiving yards (614) and receiving touchdowns (7).
