Reads as if his injury last year was the cause here.  Never happy to learn that a student-athlete suffers a career ending injury.

Though it is a reminder that HS football recruits should make the best possible 40 year decision because in football career ending injuries are not uncommon.

It will be an interesting data point - Redrum - 07-14-2016

At least more interesting than fully half the statistics munged-to-death in football, like second-down-running-yardage and the like.
 
As noted above, the data point that will be interesting is whether,  with an injury scholarship (supposedly)guaranteed,  this medically retired player continues his education and gets a degree.  I say "supposedly" because often retired/ injured players do not avail themselves of the scholarship protection and just drop out. Also, college administrators have myriad ways of making life difficult for any student, and often it takes considerable dedication to push through bureaucracy as well as academics.  A big change from the somewhat privileged atmosphere for athletes with the support of the athletic department behind them.
