A chronic hip injury has forced Washington quarterback Cyler Miles to retire from college football, head coach Chris Petersen announced today. Medical personnel have advised Miles that it would be against his best interest to continue to play on the injury, which has persisted throughout his career.Miles, who would have been a fourth-year junior this coming fall, started 12 games for the Huskies last season and played in a total of 20 games during his UW career."I am grateful to Coach Petersen and his staff for all the opportunities I have been given here at Washington," Miles said. "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."As with all medical retirements, Miles can remain on scholarship through the completion of his undergraduate degree, but will not count against the NCAA limit of 85 scholarship players on the roster."I am pleased that Cyler will remain committed to the pursuit of his UW degree, even though his injuries will keep him from competing on the football field," Petersen said. "We will continue to support him and wish him the best in this next phase of his life."
