Georgia Tech Football: Two Players Retire for Medical Reasons

Georgia Tech announced a few roster changes this morning, including the addition of former Notre Dame safety Derrik Allen and the retirements of offensive/defensive lineman Brad Morgan and wide receiver Tija’i Whatley.

The news about Brad isn’t entirely new, as he announced this decision earlier this week in an Instagram post.

This was one of the toughest and most heartbreaking decisions that I’ve ever had to make. I’ve decided to medically retire from the game that I’ve been so passionate about ever since third grade. For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been battling a second back injury and have been in rehab for the past four months.
