UConn sophomore linebacker Graham Stewart, the Florida transfer and former Xavier-Middletown star from Durham, will miss the 2012 season because of torn pectoral muscle.
Stewart injured himself during a workout on July 23 and underwent surgery four days later.
Stewart, who will have three seasons to play for the Huskies, was seeking an NCAA waiver to play right away but UConn never completed the process once the injury became an issue.
Normally, student-athletes transferring from one Division I-A school to another have to sit out a year.
Stewart elected to transfer to be close to home. He told The Courant in April he needed to be close to home and his family.

DC my man, tough break for this could but it could be a blessing in disguise. You never want to see someone get injured but this also puts to rest the waiver UConn was trying to get him. Unless the situation was really big, I doubt the NCAA would have granted him the waiver since they are so inconsistent with their rulings. Unfortunately, he will not be playing for the Huskies this year but he will good to go for the next three and that can only help the dawgs. Get bette Graham and look forward to having you on the field in the future!
