Memphis Tigers wide receiver Demeer Blankumsee appeared to suffer a concerning knee injury while celebrating a touchdown vs. UTSA on Saturday.
Blankumsee hit Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic “Siu” celebration after making a free run into the end zone but landed awkwardly, with his left knee buckling under him as he came down.
Check it out in the video below:
