Stanford offensive lineman Branson Bragg, a multiyear starter, will retire from football because of lingering symptoms from a concussion and other mental health factors.
Bragg, a senior from Texas, posted on Twitter that he has "long-term" and "intense" symptoms stemming from a concussion he sustained during Stanford's training camp. He also cited mental health factors as contributing to the decision. Bragg did not play in Stanford's first two games.
The 6-foot-4, 315-pound Bragg started nine games at right guard and right tackle last season, and started all six games in 2020 at right guard.
