Byrd injured his knee Oct. 5 against Wake Forest. He started the first five games of the season and had 17 tackles before the injury.
“Jarvis is a true champion,” Doeren said. “This team and staff love him as a brother and respect him as a leader. It is so unfortunate that a plyer like Jarvis, who has been through two other ACL surgeries, has to endure another. I know that he will have a tremendous attitude and will use all the support available to him to have a healthy recovery.”
Byrd first tore his ACL in 2009 as true freshman after earning a starting position. He missed the 2010 season after that injury and had the second ACL injury during summer workouts in 2011. He played in four games last season.
