Penn State defensive end Torrence Brown retired from football on Saturday night, citing “multiple injuries and surgeries.”
Brown missed most of the 2017 season after suffering a serious knee injury against Georgia State in Week 3. The Alabama native will stay with the team in an off-field role.
“I’m looking forward to graduating this winter and getting my degree from one of the most prestigious universities in the country,” Brown wrote in a statement on Twitter. “My career isn’t over. This is just a bump in the road.”
Brown, who started three games last season, is the fifth Nittany Lion to retire in the last six weeks.
