“Countless” injuries force Arkansas TE Dax Courtney to retire
Dax Courtney is going to focus on his health.
“Football has been my life for as long as I can remember and will always be my number one story piece, but due to countless (injuries) I have sustained I have to start thinking about life after football,” Courtney wrote on Twitter.
He suffered a dislocated knee during his junior season and torn his ACL in the first game of his senior season. Courtney was with the Razorbacks on campus during spring practice, but did not play.

Courtney was a three-star recruit from Clarendon and one of two tight ends in Arkansas’ Class of 2022. The other, Tyrus Washington, could be Arkansas’ No. 3 tight end this season in his freshman year.
The Razorbacks return Trey Knox (20 receptions in 2021) and Hudson Henry (four receptions in 2021) at the top two spots at tight end.
