Michigan football quarterback Jack Tuttle announces retirement

(CBS DETROIT) – University of Michigan quarterback Jack Tuttle announced he is retiring from the college sport after experiencing a fifth concussion and challenges following a UCL repair.
Tuttle released a statement on social media Monday evening, saying the decision was made after “deep reflection and heartfelt conversations with my family, doctors and loved ones” and is now focused on “prioritizing my health.” 
Read the full statement below:
The U of M graduate student made his 2024 season debut on Oct. 5 against Washington, completing 10 out of 18 pass attempts for 98 yards and a touchdown. He started two weeks later against Illinois, completing 20 out of 32 pass attempts for 208 yards.
In the 2023 season, he appeared as quarterback in six games, completing 15 out of 17 pass attempts. He made his debut against UNLV, carrying for 14 yards before leaving the game due to an injury.
Prior to Michigan, he enrolled in the University of Utah. He did not play his freshman year and appeared in five games his sophomore year, three games his junior year and six games his senior year. As a fifth-year senior, he appeared in one game before an injury ended his season.
Tuttle’s announcement comes two days after the Wolverines beat Michigan State 24-17 on Saturday night. The two teams then had a postgame altercation.
On Monday, Michigan State athletic director Alan Haller called on Big Ten to investigate the altercation. The last time the teams met at the Big House, a fight broke out in the tunnel, resulting in seven MSU players being charged.
