Ex-Longhorns QB David Ash medically cleared to return to football, will participate in UT Pro Day

David Ash's last football game was Aug. 30, 2014 vs. North Texas.

But the former Longhorns QB, who retired in Sept. 2014 after a string of concussions, hasn't set down his helmet for good yet. Ash has been medically cleared to return to football, per a UT release Thursday afternoon.

And he'll try out his skills at the Longhorns' Pro Day in Austin on March 28.

Texas running back D'Onta Foreman, projected as one of the top running backs in the 2017 draft, will participate in the UT Pro Day then as well.

Ash's problem with concussions dates back before his North Texas ding that sidelined him and led to his eventual retirement, announced by then-Texas coach Charlie Strong on Sept.
