Arkansas defensive lineman Briston Guidry is walking away from football citing injury reasons, according to a post on his Twitter account on Tuesday.

“I always knew that football doesn’t last forever, but I never knew that I would be walking away so soon,” Guidry wrote. “In my last couple of years, I’ve been battling through 7 knee surgeries.
