The Tennessee offensive line was dealt another blow this morning as Melvin McBride announced his retirement from football. McBride was a 2019 signee, part of an offensive line class that brought five new faces to the group.
He made the announcement via Twitter this morning.
Today I Officially Announce My Retirement From Football Due To Health Problems. I Would Just Like To Say That Football Has Change My Life And Bless Me In Ways I Could Never Imagine. But Now God Has A New Journey For Me . #60Forever
