Michigan's Jack Tuttle Announces Retirement from Football After 5th Concussion

Michigan Wolverines quarterback Jack Tuttle announced on social media that he would be retiring from football after suffering his fifth concussion.

Reports indicated that the 25-year-old senior had been "dealing with some lingering issues" during the offseason, and Tuttle didn't make his debut for the Wolverines until Oct. 5 against Washington.

Tuttle also played against Illinois on Oct. 19.

In two games this season, the quarterback threw for 306 yards and one touchdown against two interceptions.

"The past year has been challenging, marked by a UCL repair in my throwing arm that I didn't fully recover form, which has caused ongoing issues," Tuttle said in his social media post. "And unfortunately, the recent experience of enduring my fifth concussion has brought forth the painful truth: that I need to start prioritizing my health."

Tuttle spent four seasons with the Indiana Hoosiers, where he accumulated 901 total yards, completing 57.1 percent of his passes for five touchdowns and six interceptions, before transferring to Michigan in 2023.

With the Wolverines, Tuttle won a national championship in 2023 and threw for 436 yards with a 67.2 percent completion rate, recording two touchdowns and two interceptions.
