Laiatu Latu's football career is over. The 6-foot-5, 270-pound junior outside linebacker has been forced to medically retire because of a neck injury sustained last fall, UW head coach Jimmy Lake announced Wednesday. Latu will remain with the program as a student assistant. "We consulted I believe about five of the best specialists in the country, guys that work with different NFL clubs where different players have had the same injury," Lake said following the Huskies' first practice of the spring. "Of course with our medical personnel, we exhausted every professional we could think of to make sure this was the proper decision. So this decision came in the last couple months, after consultation with all the medical professionals. "It was a tough decisi on to make for sure, but it's for the safety of our players first and foremost. We never want to put anybody in danger of possibly not being able to use his extremities the rest of his life. We'd never want that to happen to anybody." A Sacramento, Calif ., native, Latu did not play in the 2020 season with the previously unspecified injury. As a true freshman in 2019, he produced 16 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and 0.5 sacks in 12 games. - Seattle Times
