SAN ANTONIO -- UTSA sophomore quarterback Blake Bogenschutz is giving up football because of lingering concussion-like symptoms.
Bogenschutz missed the final seven games of 2015 after sustaining a concussion against UTEP.
UTSA announced Tuesday that team doctors had advised him to quit playing.
"As much as I love football, I respect the doctors' decision to end my career,'' Bogenschutz said. "Despite my strong love and passion for the game, I have come to peace and realization that my health is more important than a game. I find peace in that I played every down with all of my heart and always left everything I had out on the field.
