AUSTIN -- University of Texas at Austin football quarterback David Ash is retiring from football, according to head coach Charlie Strong.
At a press conference, Charlie Strong said Ash decided he will no longer play football.
"[Ash] has been a major part of this university," said Strong. "He'll continue to be part of this team."
Last Monday Strong said Ash is out indefinitely and that the Longhorns will push ahead with Tyrone Swoopes as the starting quarterback.
Ash missed Texas' 41-7 loss to BYU on Saturday because of concussion symptoms. Swoopes was 20 of 31 passing for 176 yards with one touchdown and one interception in his first career start.
