TALLAHASSEE -- Florida State head coach Willie Taggart announced during the Willie Taggart Talk Show on Monday evening from the Four Points by Sheraton Tallahassee that redshirt freshman running back Khalan Laborn's season is officially over.

"Well, unfortunately Khalan had surgery this past Friday and while doing surgery found out that there is more injury to it than what we originally thought," Taggart said. "Khalan won't be back with us this year."

Laborn dislocated his kneecap, and apparently did more than just that, when he was injured during a kick return against Samford. The injury occurred during the first quarter of that game.

Taggart originally stated on Sept. 10th, two days after Laborn was injured, that he could potentially return this season.

Laborn had a 37-yard reception in his lone offensive touch on the season. He also had three kick returns for 64 yards.

Excitement was high for the 5-foot-11, 205-pound back after a strong spring and spring game showing.

The Virginia Beach, Va. native redshirted during the 2017 season.
