The Bruins, now sitting at 7-0 (5-0) and ranked No. 7 in the AP Poll, are positioned to potentially reach the College Football Playoff for the first time in program history. There’s no doubt the program, however, would have loved for Iamaleava to have been a part of the complete ride. On Thursday, Iamaleava opened up about his injury on Instagram.

“I’m heartbroken the way my season ended,” Iamaleava wrote. “I’ve finally accepted that this year is really over for me. This wasn’t part of the plan, but I believe everything happens for a reason. I gave this game and my brothers everything I had and I’ll continue to lean on God and trust His plan. I’ll be back.”
