SCOUT'S TAKE

Skinny: The massive frame that Jason Fox has is the platform for an athlete that has become a leader at the University of Miami. He is a well-conditioned player that can be counted on to get the job done everyday. Fox is a natural leader that has demonstrated his flexibility by pancaking opponents from both the left and the right side of the line. During both his freshman and junior seasons, he did not allow a single sack. Fox graded out at a 96 percent over his sophomore campaign and solidified himself as the captain of the offensive line.

12.19.09 - University of Miami senior left tackle Jason Fox will miss the Champs Sports Bowl against Wisconsin on Dec. 29th in Orlando, coach Randy Shannon announced Saturday. Fox is listed as having a "lower extremity" injury that required surgery. He was seen Saturday morning on the sideline at practice with a large black brace over his left leg and knee. "We have really appreciated all of Jason's efforts this season as well as throughout his career," Shannon said. "He's had some nagging injuries this season, and has played through the pain to the point where we as a coaching staff and athletic training staff feel like it would be best for him to not play in the bowl game. Jason has a bright future ahead in football and he needs to be 100 percent going forward."  - Miami Herald
