Florida Gators DB announces medical retirement from football Redshirt sophomore safety Dakota Mitchell announced his medical retirement from football Friday due to a birth defect in his back.
Such a big growing up moment for this young man. I know it must hurt him to step away from a game that helped get him this far in life. All is not lost, he is in a good situation to begin the next phase of his life. Now he can focus on completing his educational goals and go into his professional life. Good luck young man.
I hope he stays on full ride and is able to better take advantage of an education now that he has the time to fully apply himself. I’ve never felt a football education was the same thing as getting the opportunity to attend UF by normal students.
