Duke Football starting center Jack Wohlabaugh is out indefinitely after undergoing ankle surgery earlier on Tuesday to stabilize a left ankle injury and is out of action indefinitely.



Wohlabaugh, Duke's starting center, has been an anchor for a youthful offensive line, which has allowed just 13 sacks this year to rank third in the ACC and tied for 26th nationally.



The surgical procedure was performed by Dr. Ned Amendola. TheOhio State transfer has started the last two seasons as the Blue Devils' center after earning an NCAA waiver to play immediately after making the move from the Buckeyes to the Blue Devils.
