Huskies QB Cyler Miles retires due to hip injury
Washington Huskies QB Cyler Miles has decided to retire from football due to a chronic hip injury, the University announced on Monday.
Miles was UW's starting QB in 2014 as a sophomore. He had taken an indefinite leave of absence from the program earlier in 2015 and did not participate in any of the spring practices.
“I am grateful to Coach Petersen and his staff for all the opportunities I have been given here at Washington,” Miles said in a prepared statement released by the University. “I am disappointed that my hip injuries will not allow me to continue playing, but I am committed to earning my UW degree and will leave the program with many great friendships and valuable lessons learned.”
Miles will remain on scholarship as he pursues his undergraduate degree from Washington.
