Vanderbilt offensive tackle Andrew Jelks, a freshman All-American in 2013, can't seem to catch a break.

After spending 2015 on the sidelines with a leg injury, which followed a 2014 season where he was less-than-healthy most of the year but played, it was announced today that the 6-foot-6, 305-pound starting offensive tackle is again out for an entire season with a knee injury.

The Commodores open the 2016 season against South Carolina at 8 p.m. Sept. 1 at Vanderbilt Stadium in Nashville, Tenn. Starting nose tackle Jay Woods has already been ruled out for the contest with the Gamecocks.
