Wisconsin Badgers offensive tackle Jaden Gault announced he will retire from football after doctors found blood clots in his lungs.

The diagnosis surfaced during a hospital visit Wednesday night, according to Jason Galloway of the Wisconsin State Journal.

Gault tweeted the news of his retirement on Thursday:

Gault was an early enrollee as a 4-star recruit in 2014, per 247Sports, but left the team during his freshman year for depression treatment. He was not listed on the Badgers’ 2015 roster.
