Neftali Alvarez - Shut down for season The team announced Wednesday that Alvarez (foot) will not play for the remainder of the season, Sam Sklar of The Hattiesburg American reports.

Impact Alvarez has a past of foot injuries and underwent surgery for his current issue in October. He had a checkup with the doctor last week who reported that Alvarez was actually ahead of schedule, but with the team struggling through 13 games (6-7, 0-1 Sun Belt), head coach Jay Ladner did not think it was worth it to burn Alvarez's final year of eligibility for half a season. The 6-0 senior will continue his rehab and prepare to return as a graduate student for the 2024-25 campaign.
