FAU’s outside linebacker Courtney McBride missed last week’s game against Charlotte due to an ankle injury.
The specifics of the injury are not known at this time. Head coach Willie Taggart mentioned on Monday in a press conference via Webex that the injury occurred in practice during the bye week.
“It was a freak incident and he had to have surgery, [and] he’ll be out for the season, unfortunately,” Taggart said.
McBride ends his freshman season with a total of three tackles and a sack in six games. The sack came against FIU in the Shula Bowl for a loss of seven yards.
