Joe McFadden, the team’s placekicker who played all 12 games in 2021, got his foot stuck in the grass during the team’s last offseason workout and tore the ACL in his kicking leg. He had successful surgery at noon Friday but will be out for the season, Mora said. “Obviously that’s a big blow. He’s an outstanding kicker. He’s also a guy that would be a backup punter for us. He’s a team leader. He’s someone our players really respect. He’s dependable. And we just wish him a speedy recovery. I know that he will continue to have an influence on this team even though he can’t do it on the field,” Mora said. Noe Ruelas, a sophomore from Hall High in West Hartford, will replace McFadden. Ruelas broke the state high school record for longest field goal when he nailed one from [URL='https://www.courant.com/sports/high-schools/hc-sp-noe-ruelas-hall-field-goal-record-20190918-ylryq6rxkfehflayz5ggou2bvy-story.html']56 yards out[/URL] in September 2019. “We have a lot of confidence in Noe to go in and kick for Joe,” Mora said. “In talking to (special teams coordinator) Doug Shearer through spring it was, ‘You know, we’ve got two really good kickers.’ And so, the next man’s up. We wish Joe the best and feel really awful about it, however we’re excited about Noe.” <- [/QUOTE]
