The surgery stems from an injury to his foot suffered earlier this fall, which required surgery and knocked him out the rest of the season.

Up until being sidelined, the Morganton (N.C.) Freedom product had rushed for 173 yards on the ground and one touchdown, while also spending time on kickoff return.

At 6-feet, 206 pounds, Emmons will return next fall to compete in what should be a strong running backs group including Bo Scarbrough, Damien Harris, Ronnie Clark, fellow soon-to-be sophomore Josh Jacobs, Najee Harris and Brian Robinson.
