“The purpose of this letter is to confirm that Andrew Michael Vorhees is under my care for an injury which occurred on March, 5, 2023, to his right knee requiring arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with central third bone patellar tendon bone autograft and repair of the posterior root of the later meniscus on March 29, 2023,” ElAttrache, the player’s doctor, wrote.
“He is currently rehabbing at Elite Orthosport in Santa Monica, California, daily. Based on his surgical results and early recovery I anticipate return to play without restrictions,” the letter further read.
Vorhees is projected as a late-round pick. He could also go undrafted. The lineman made 48 starts in six seasons with the USC Trojans. In 23 games, he played at left guard and in 20 he was at right. He was left tackle in five games.
