University of Michigan quarterback Jack Tuttle is retiring after his 5th concussion

University of Michigan quarterback Jack Tuttle said Monday he is retiring from the game after recently suffering a fifth concussion.

He tore the UCL, a ligament in the elbow in his right throwing arm earlier this year.

“Throughout my college career, I have battled numerous injuries, culminating in this difficult choice to walk away from playing the game I love,” he said in a post on X.

He added, “College football has given me a bunch of memories with amazing people in my life and it has shaped my character. I am extremely grateful for every opportunity to step on the field and the unwavering support of those who have stood by me through thick and thin.”

Tuttle was in his second season with the Michigan Wolverines after spending four seasons with the Indiana Hoosiers.

Tuttle said in his speech, he wants to become a coach in the future.

Last week, North Carolina State University quarterback Grayson McCall also said he was retiring from football and that his “dream just got cut short.”

In an Instagram post, he said, “I did everything I could to keep going, but this is where the good Lord called me to serve in a different place. Neurologists, my family and I have come to the conclusion that it is in my best interest to hang up the cleats.”

McCall was with the NC State Wolfpack in his first season and spent five seasons at Coastal Carolina University. He also said that he is looking forward to coaching.
