Michigan football quarterback Jack Tuttle has announced his retirement from the sport.
The seventh-year quarterback took to social media Monday night to announce he’s played his final game after getting the fifth concussion of his career. He thanked his teammates and coaches who’ve helped him along the way and reassured the Maize and Blue faithful he won’t be going far.
Jack Tuttle of the Michigan Wolverines looks to pass during the second quarter against the Washington Huskies at Husky Stadium on October 5, 2024 in Seattle, Washington.
“Today, I am announcing my retirement from college football. This decision, though difficult, comes after deep reflection and heartfelt conversations with my family, doctors, and loved ones,” the post reads in part. “I want to thank Coach Moore, the staff and my teammates – I love all of you guys. I will continue to help Team 145 as we prepare for the rest of the season.
“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.”
Tuttle appeared in two games this season with the Wolverines and started once in a 21-7 loss to Illinois. He completed 30 of 50 passes on the season for 306 yards and one touchdown and had four turnovers.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
