Former FAU, Hagerty quarterback Jason Driskel talks about decision to end career

Not many college football players get to ride off into the sunset on their own terms.

For former Hagerty star Jason Driskel, who just completed an impressive redshirt junior season as quarterback at FAU, he has come to that point in his life. He accomplished his college football goals, is graduating with a degree in civil engineering in May and his broad spectrum of potential career pursuits include graduate school, as well as possibly even law school.

That’s why Thursday’s announcement that he was hanging up his football cleats was an easy decision for Driskel in terms of his future, but still “probably one of the hardest [decisions] I’ve ever had to make in my life,” Driskel told the Sentinel on Friday.
