Marcus Smith's Ankle Sprain Clouds American Fork's Preseason
American Fork TE Marcus Smith suffered an ankle sprain during the team's summer camp, leaving his status for the upcoming season uncertain. Sources close to the team indicate Smith is questionable for the Cavemen's next game. The injury is expected to sideline Smith for 2-4 weeks, depending on the severity of the sprain. With Smith's absence, American Fork's depth chart at tight end will be put to the test. The team will rely on junior backup Tyler Johnson to fill the void. The Cavemen's preseason schedule is set to kick off in late August, with Smith's availability for the opener hanging in the balance. The injury is a setback for a team looking to make a deep run in the 6A playoffs.
