Michigan QB Jack Tuttle retires due to medical reasons
Michigan's quarterback, Jack Tuttle, announced his retirement on Monday.
Tuttle is leaving football due to medical reasons, as he "did not fully recover from" a procedure to fix the ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing arm. He also recently suffered his fifth concussion.
"Today, I am declaring my retirement from college football," Tuttle shared on X, formerly known as Twitter. "This decision, although difficult, comes after much contemplation and heartfelt discussions with my family, doctors, and loved ones."
Tuttle played for four seasons at Indiana and two at Michigan. He participated in two games for the Wolverines in 2024, completing 30 of 50 passes for 306 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions.
Tuttle came off the bench to play against Washington on October 5th, and started in a 21-7 loss against Illinois on October 19th.
At the end of his social media post, Tuttle revealed his plans to pursue a career in coaching.
Davis Warren, the first of the Wolverines' three starting quarterbacks this year, regained his starting role this past weekend in a victory over Michigan State. Michigan (5-3, 3-2 Big Ten) will face No. 1 Oregon at home on Saturday.
