According to a report from the Tulsa World’s Bill Haisten, junior linebacker Seth Jacobs is expected to announce he is retiring from football due to chronic shoulder issues he has experieneced through his career.
Jacobs still has one year of eligibility remaining, but has already graduated – and the situation in which he announces his retirement makes sense.
Here is what Jacobs had to say regarding the report:
I'm at the Oak Valley Plantation in Louisiana with my parents. I plan on making an appropriate statement late tonight or tomorrow morning.
Jacobs was the defensive MVP of the Ticket City Cactus Bowl, but has been plagued by injuries throughout his Cowboy career, starting 26 consecutive games even with a hand injury this season in which he wore a massive cast.
