Auburn Tigers edge rusher Eku Leota, transfer QB Zach Calzada to undergo surgery

AUBURN, Ala. -- Auburn edge rusher Eku Leota could miss the rest of the season with a pectoral injury, coach Bryan Harsin said Monday.

Leota will have surgery Tuesday for the injury sustained early in the loss this past weekend to LSU, Harsin said.

The Tigers are set to visit No. 2 Georgia on Saturday in their first road game of the season.

Harsin also confirmed previous reports that transfer quarterback Zach Calzada will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery. The former Texas A&M starter hasn't played this season.

A 6-foot-4, 257-pound graduate transfer, Leota has 17 tackles, including five for loss, and two sacks.
