Auburn junior linebacker Richard McBryde will miss all of the 2018 season with a neck injury, Tigers head coach Gus Malzahn announced Tuesday morning.
The defender from Troy, Alabama, redshirted in 2015 before seeing action as a reserve in the last two seasons. Last year, McBryde tallied 13 total tackles and two tackles for loss. He was expected to receive reps ahead of Auburn's multiple freshman linebackers this season.
