Michigan's seventh-year signal-caller says he's done to prioritize his health
Jack Tuttle has announced his retirement from football after a series of injuries, including five concussions, led him to prioritize his health. In a social media post, the Michigan quarterback reflected on the challenges he faced over his college career, which included a significant elbow injury that required a UCL repair and left him struggling with lingering issues.
He made his first appearance for the Wolverines in Week 6 against Washington and started in their matchup against Illinois, where he completed 20 of 32 passes for 208 yards but also threw an interception in a 21-7 loss. Tuttle's performance showed promise, but his health concerns prevented him from building further on these efforts. Last week, Michigan returned to Davis Warren, their Week 1 starter, for the rivalry game against Michigan State, which ended in a 24-17 win.
Over his career, Tuttle has demonstrated resilience and dedication, amassing 1,337 passing yards and seven touchdowns. Now, as he steps away from playing, Tuttle has expressed a desire to pursue a coaching role, a decision that will allow him to stay connected to the sport while shifting his focus to guiding and mentoring younger players.
