KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee cornerback Kamal Hadden announced on Thursday he will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery.
Hadden was hurt in the Alabama game at the end of the first half and did not return.
He made a statement below on Instagram regarding his surgery:
"I put everything I had in it. Just to get right this last round, Learning how to not always be right, but also Learning how to be right nd still make correction to be even better. Learning it’s a right way and it’s a wrong way to situations. I was stuck in my ways for a long time thinking I had all the answers. With time I learned Change is apart of growing, and you gotta sacrifice to grow. I was just getting comfortable, the work was just starting to show, I was showing the world what I already knew. My last year, my bag year, and I strike out.. I feel like I let everybody down. The fam, gang, the team, everybody. But I always took the longer route, I always was in a fight with adversity, I always had it a lil harder, I always wanted it a lil tougher cause at the end the win a lil more greater. This shit far from over. I’ll be having season ending surgery this morning. The get back start now."
Hadden had the game-sealing interception against Texas A&M. He also had an interception against South Carolina that he returned for a touchdown before halftime. He had a third interception earlier in the season against Austin-Peay.
