Brock Rechsteiner left Jacksonville State’s matchup against UTEP with what appeared to be an upper body injury.
Rechsteiner was hit hard after being unable to come up with a deep pass that could’ve given Jax State its second touchdown of the game. He remained down shaking his left arm; on replay it appeared he may have been hit hard in the shoulder.
Rechsteiner got sandwiched between two UTEP defenders. He was able to walk off the field on his own according to the ESPN+ broadcast. He went toward the tent and did not return for the rest of the drive.
Rechsteiner has caught 25 passes for 305 yards and four touchdowns this season. All three of those are career-best, even though he’s only played in the eight games so far this season. Before Deondre Johnson’s 77-yard touchdown in the first quarter, Rechsteiner’s 56-yard score against Georgia Southern was tied for longest passing play on the year.
He is a fifth-year senior and was put on scholarship over the summer under first-year coach Charles Kelly. He played all 14 games in 2024, with 16 catches for 241 yards and two touchdowns. He has been a big-time play maker, highlighted by the 85-yard touchdown vs. Southern Miss in 2024.
For his career, he has 42 catches for 551 yards and six touchdowns.
Rechsteiner is the son of former WWE wrestler Scott Steiner and the cousin of current wrestler Bron Breakker.
