Sophomore quarterback Jake Johnson’s football career has come to an end.

The Dewitt native announced on his Instagram account Friday he would no longer be able to play football due to the amount of concussions he has suffered.

“To whom it may concern. I’ve been wanting to post this for a while but honestly couldn’t find the courage to do so,” Johnson wrote in the post.
