Jesse Coffey gone, on medical hardship

Assistant Coach
[Rivals/Yahoo]

“It was tough,” Coffey said. “It was just a decision that I needed to make. It was mainly just I had to think long term, and I didn’t want to be crippled when I was getting older. That’s kind of the path I was going down if I kept playing football, and I could face serious injuries with both (the foot and hip injuries) working against each other. It was doing some serious damage.”

“I definitely want to be around the team, but I’m not exactly sure what I’ll be doing,” Coffey said. “I already have a lot to do with my engineering degree, so I’m not sure if I’m going to try and pursue something with football along with that, but we’ll see. I’ve still got a lot to think about and a lot to decide.”
This is tough. Was Coffey part of Bo's first recruiting class?

 
Best of luck to this young man, it must be hard at his age to have arthritis already.

Speaking of that maybe they should add the word "sides". Makes it sound like Coffey has two hips, lol.

Still though, I'm sure an internship could be offered to this kid later on.
