Today Clint Trickett from West Virginia told the media he will hang up his cleats after suffering major concussions. He has been hiding concussions from the team trainers.
@AllanTaylorWVU: Trickett just told us he had 5 concussions in 14 months, hiding 2 from trainers. Will retire from football and begin coaching.
@AllanTaylorWVU: Trickett made numerous trips to UPMC but couldn’t pass protocols. “In the career I’m entering I probably need a few brain cells.”
@AllanTaylorWVU: Trickett on hiding concussions: “In fairness to our trainers, that’s on me.” Says they would’ve held him out had they seen any indicators.
