NC State Linebacker Riley Nicholson has decided it’s not in his best interest to continue playing college football.
Nicholson was injured on the opening kickoff of the opening game of 2017 against South Carolina. The specifics of his injury weren’t revealed at the time. He was said to have an “upper body injury.”
This week it was revealed that Nicholson had suffered his second concussion within the past twelve months, and he had also suffered a couple of concussions in high school as well.
Nicholson took to Twitter to announce his retirement and share his gratitude to his coaches and to the Wolfpack fans.
