Michigan QB Jack Tuttle is hanging up his cleats.
On Monday night, Tuttle announced on social media that he was suddenly retiring from football after suffering his fifth concussion.
“Today, I am announcing my retirement from college football,” Tuttle wrote in his Instagram post. “This decision, though difficult, comes after deep reflection and heartfelt conversations with my family, doctors and loved ones.”
“The past year has been challenging, marked by a UCL repair in my throwing arm that I didn’t fully recover from, which has caused ongoing issues. And unfortunately, the recent experience of enduring my fifth concussion has brought forth the painful truth: that I need to start prioritizing my health. Throughout my college career, I’ve battled numerous injuries, culminating in this difficult choice to step away from playing the game that I love.”
While Tuttle is retiring from playing football, he still plans to coach on the sideline.
“Though closing this chapter is unfortunate, my passion for football will always be a part of me. I am committed to finding a different role in the game and plan to pursue a role in coaching.”
With Tuttle out Michigan will likely use a two QB combo with Davis Warren-Alex Orji.
