- Hightower's Wilhite Out To Prove Injury Won Limit Him Quoting The Coach
'Josh tore his ACL his junior year which was really hard on him, but he never complained, worked hard with the doctors in rehab and came back to have a heck of a senior year. He had some pain from the scar tissue but toughed it out and played with a little bit of a chip on his shoulder wanting to prove that he could get back to where he was before the injury. Wake Forest is getting a good young man, and it was a lot of fun coaching him.'
