FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas freshman tight end Dax Courtney announced in a post to his Twitter account Monday he is retiring from football to focus on his health.
“The sport I’ve put my heart into for 19 years is now over for me as a player,” Courtney wrote in part. “Football has been my life for as long as I can remember and will always be my number one story piece, but due to countless (injuries) I have sustained I have to start thinking about life after football.
“Thank you to the Razorback coaching staff for recruiting me here and doing everything y’all could to make sure I had a good career.
