OU D-Tackle to quit game after season

You gotta give it up for this guy! :cheers

Oklahoma defensive tackle Carl Pendleton is one of the finalists for the Draddy Trophy, given to the top scholar-athlete in college football, and he's going to take that honor a step further. He plans to give up football for the books.

 

Pendleton, the legal guardian for his 10-year-old brother, Kierstan, said he will enter graduate school and concentrate on his family and academics.

Interesting decision

Good for him. The only reason to continue playing is the hope of financial security from a pro contract. If he's not a sure-fire high draft pick, then this is definately the right thing to do.
