Auburn Tigers starting center and former Preseason All-SEC pick Nick Brahms is retiring from football after attempting to come back from knee surgery in the winter.
Coach Bryan Harsin told reporters on Monday that Brahms is "officially done with football."
A sixth-year senior, Brahms was one of the most experienced linemen in the SEC with 33 career starts.
He missed the bowl game after undergoing surgery and missed all of spring practice.
"He tried after last season, he had the injury going into the bowl game and then came back and just not there physically to be able to go out there and play and to play at the level he wants to play at," Harsin said.
