Former Auburn defensive back Mike McNeil has received a split sentence for first-degree robbery.
Lee County (AL) Circuit Judge Christopher Hughes accepted McNeil's plea deal just as he was set to go to trial. McNeil is now required to serve at least three years in the Lee County Jail plus serve an additional three years of probation upon his release. He has also been ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution.

Goodwin is serving a 15-year sentence while Dakota Mosley and Shaun Kitchens are awaiting trial.
