Cyler Miles had 17 TD passes and only four interceptions last season.

Washington quarterback Cyler Miles has decided to retire from college football because of a chronic hip injury.

Washington announced the decision on Monday. The school said the hip injury has persisted through Miles' career and doctors have advised him not to keep playing.

Miles was suspended for spring practice last year after his role in two on-campus assaults in February 2014. He was also suspended for the season opener but ended up starting 12 games, throwing for 2,397 yards, 17 touchdowns and four interceptions.
