Former Jenks (Tulsa) standout Dylan Harding, a part of Oklahoma State’s 2014 signing class, announced he is being forced to retire from football after a diagnosis of spinal stenosis.

Here’s what he wrote on his Instagram page:

For everyone that hasn’t seen or heard, I got diagnosed with spinal stenosis that’s causing me to leave the game I’ve played since 2nd grade. I’ll never forget the young days of watching Bedlam games with my pops and dreaming of being apart of something that special. Thankfully I got that opportunity and I’ll never forget it. I just want to say thanks to all of my family, friends and people who have followed this dream of mine as it turned into a reality.
