  San Diego State cornerbacks Noah Avinger and Dallas Branch were warming up before last year's game against Nevada when, within the span of a few minutes, both players suffered the same freak injury - a dislocated left shoulder. That didn't preclude either of them from playing but did require repair after the season. So two days after SDSU beat UTSA in the Frisco Bowl and two days before Christmas, both players had shoulder surgery. "Dallas went right before me," Avinger said. "The surgery went well, our training staff got us right back on the field, great treatment and I feel like I never left." Branch had a similarly successful recovery.

Rehabilitation prevented them from participating in spring camp, but both Avinger and Branch are good to go now. Avinger, a 6-foot-1 sophomore from Cerritos, and Branch, a 5-11 senior from Redondo Beach, are locked in one of the more intense competitions of preseason camp. "Since I've been here, we've always had the one alpha coming back," SDSU cornerbacks coach Demetrius Sumler said. "The guy who was clearly the best player in the room, an all-conference-caliber player. "We don't have that guy we know is the guy right now, but I think we've got a pretty talented room. If we keep working, we're going to be good." - San Diego Union Tribune
