Quarterback McKenzie Milton announces retirement from football

A retirement well earned.

Former Florida State Seminoles and UCK Knights quarterback McKenzie Milton, who worked his way back from an injury so severe that it nearly cost him his leg, has announced that he’s officially stepping away from the game.

Milton started four games for FSU in 2021, appearing in six total while throwing for 775 yards and three touchdowns. While the stats never quite lined up with his Heisman-contending production pre-injury, the simple matter of returning to the field was a win in itself.

As for a potential new path, Milton has found a nice post-grad niche in the NIL market — after first venturing into advocacy when Florida’s bill allowing the deals nearly was killed, he’s become a major part of Dreamfield, which has also established itself with UCF athletes.
