Isaiah Renfro quits Washington Huskies to 'conquer' his depression

Washington receiver Isaiah Renfro announced Sunday that he was walking away from football in order to continue his recovery from depression and anxiety.

Renfro, a sophomore, didn't participate in the Huskies' spring camp for what coach Chris Peterson called "personal issues." Renfro said in a lengthy statement on Twitter that he was receiving treatment at a hospital during that time "in a special program for people like me, that taught me how to cope with my problems and what to do when I hit my lowest of lows."

Been debating on posting this but this is me taking steps in the right direction to becoming myself again.
