Title: and now for some bad news....
Post by: Godfather on August 28, 2018, 01:49:39 PM

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.

Well, shit.

Not the worst off/pre-season news (fingers crossed), but not optimal.

Hate it for the young man. Must be very dire with so little information and to call it a season ending injury like it's cut and dried.

Don’t mess around with the neck!

I was looking forward to seeing more of McBryde. He was a big time recruit. 

What’s the deal with kids from troy and the neck?

I’m sure some of you were there when Zack Ethridge went down. The stadium was as quiet as I’ve ever heard it when it is full.

Scary moment. I’d rather not see him play than something that scary happen.
