UC Davis Aggies Quarterback Miles Hastings to Miss Two Weeks Due to Injury
UC Davis football has suffered a setback as starting quarterback Miles Hastings is expected to miss the next two weeks due to an injury sustained during the Aggies’ most recent game. The injury occurred in the second half, when Hastings appeared to take a hard hit while attempting to make a pass. Although the exact nature of the injury has not been officially disclosed, sources close to the team indicate it is not expected to be a long-term issue.
Hastings, a sophomore from Santa Clarita, has been a key player for the Aggies this season, leading the offense with poise and precision. Through the first few games, he has shown significant growth as a leader under center, including several highlight performances that have kept the Aggies competitive in their conference. His absence will undoubtedly be felt as the team enters a crucial stretch of the season.
With Hastings sidelined, the Aggies will turn to backup quarterbacks to fill the void. Junior Jake Maier, who has seen limited action this year, is the most likely candidate to step in. Maier has experience with the team but will need to quickly adapt to the starting role as UC Davis prepares for its next matchup.
Head coach Tim Plough expressed confidence in Maier and the rest of the team, noting that depth has been a key focus in the offseason. “We’ve built a strong, cohesive team, and we’ll adjust,” Tim Plough said. “This is an opportunity for the next man up to prove himself.”
The Aggies are set to face a tough opponent in their upcoming game, and the loss of Hastings adds an extra layer of challenge to their preparations. Fans and teammates alike will be hoping for a quick recovery as they rally around the team during this crucial period.
