Texas Tech offensive lineman Conner Dyer announced Sunday he’s giving up football for health reasons. Dyer’s a redshirt freshman who has missed each of his first two seasons because of knee injuries.
“Unfortunately, due to repeated injury, it is in my health’s best interest to discontinue my participation with the athletic program,” Dyer posted on Twitter. “I look forward to continuing my education and am excited to experience the next chapter in my life. I wish Texas Tech football success and always Guns Up.”
Tech signed six offensive line prospects in 2015. Three have started games this season: Terence Steele, Paul Stawarz and Madison Akamnonu.
