“This hurts because football was my everything, but god has other plans for me,” he wrote in a statement posted to Twitter.
Asiedu said he will remain on football scholarship with the Nittany Lions despite his diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which causes the thickening of the heart muscle.
