Eku Leota was ruled out for the rest of the season after sustaining a pec injury during Auburn’s loss to LSU last weekend, coach Bryan Harsin confirmed Monday. Leota will undergo surgery Tuesday.
“Eku’s a big loss, and this has nothing to do with anybody behind him; it’s just he’s an emotional leader, he’s one of the smartest football players we have,” Harsin said. “I mean, he is a guy that you want on your team — how he prepares, all the things he does, the respect he has of his team.”
The 6-foot-4, 257-pound senior has been Auburn’s second-most productive pass rusher this season. He’s tied with Colby Wooden for second on the team in sacks, with two, to go along with 17 total tackles, five for a loss and three quarterback hurries.
