“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 wrote. “Throughout my college career, l’ve battled numerous injuries, culminating in this difficult choice to step away from playing the game that I love.”
Tuttle made his first appearance of the season in Week 6 against Washington and started two weeks later against Illinois. He completed 20 of 32 attempts for 208 yards, with an interception in a 21-7 loss to Illinois. The Wolverines turned back to Davis Warren - the team’s Week 1 starter - in a 24-17 win over Michigan State last weekend.
