(STATS) – Villanova offensive lineman Jake Prus will start the Wildcats’ season-opening game at Connecticut Thursday night.
And then he will have an even bigger assignment.
Villanova coach Andy Talley said Monday that Prus has been selected as a match to make a bone marrow donation next month. The offensive tackle from Woodstown, New Jersey, is expected to miss the following three games, Talley added.
Prus will be the first Villanova player to donate since Matt Szczur in 2010. Talley has been a driving force with college football teams nationwide to register potential marrow donors for the Be The Match Registry.
The Wildcats are ranked fourth in the STATS FCS Top 25.
