Utah's leading WR Dres Anderson out for the season with knee injury

Utah senior wide receiver Dres Anderson will miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury, the university announced Wednesday.

Utah did not provide any details about the extent of the injury or when the injury occurred.

Anderson, a team captain, did play in the Utes 24-21 win against USC last weekend. He caught three passes for 30 yards.

Anderson is Utah’s leading receiver with 355 yards and four touchdowns. He was second on the team with 22 receptions.

Anderson, who is the son of former NFL wide receiver Willie "Flipper" Anderson, ends his Utah career ranked fifth on the school's all-time receiving list with 2,077 yards.

Utah plays Arizona State this weekend in a pivotal Pac-12 South game. The Sun Devils currently lead the Pac-12 South, but a Utah win would tie the two teams and give the Utes the tiebreaker with four games remaining.
