Jack Tuttle has been battling injury trouble and he is now calling it a career.
Michigan quarterback Jack Tuttle announced on social media Monday night that he is retiring from football due to medical reasons. While Tuttle has primarily served as a backup for the Wolverines, he recently secured a starting position after recovering from an injury. He was slated to start against Michigan State but was ruled out for the game, leading to his decision to step away from the sport.
In his post, Tuttle shared, “I am announcing my retirement from college football today. This was a tough choice made after careful thought and meaningful discussions with my family, doctors, and loved ones. This past year has been particularly hard, following a UCL repair in my throwing arm that I didn’t completely recover from, leading to ongoing issues. Additionally, suffering my fifth concussion made it clear that I need to prioritize my health. Throughout college, I’ve faced numerous injuries, ultimately leading to this difficult decision to leave the game I love. College football has blessed me with unforgettable moments alongside amazing people, shaping who I am today. I am incredibly grateful for every opportunity to step on the field, and for the constant support from those who have been with me through the highs and lows. I extend my thanks to Coach Moore, the staff, and my teammates—I love you all. I will continue to support Team 145 as we prepare for the season ahead. While it’s hard to close this chapter, my love for football will always remain. I am eager to find a new role in the sport and pursue coaching.”
Tuttle began his college career at Indiana in 2019 and has decided to retire after playing four seasons there before transferring to Michigan following the 2022 season.
