I sure hate this for Ben Batson. But its no joke. When my daughter played club soccer, her doctor was one more head shot from shutting her down for good too. And a soccer player who cannot do a header is a pretty limited player. I think Luke Kuechly's reason for retiring was cited as being a toe injury - but he was always missing games with concussion. It had to factor in, I would think.

Oh well. Good luck Ben Batson - Tiger Nation still cheers for you!

Wishing Ben the very best. Can't mess around with this sort of injury. I'm sure he has a bright future with a Clemson degree.

Good Luck to Ben. Does this open up a scholarship spot?

Or was he a walk on?

Wish you the best! It’s a blessing to be able to walk away with your health because life is about a lot more than football! But we do appreciate you switching positions & filling the need in the QB room when it got thin. You’re a true team player!

Smart man!

I know he has played football for a long time, and loves the game, but he is doing the right thing. It shows a lot of maturity and foresight to make a decision like this. I'm proud of him.

So sorry to see this! Was looking forward to seeing Ben on the defensive send of the ball, believe we'd seen more of him. Certainly understand his decision, and what an incredible attitude, God never says oops!!! Strong and 100% correct! Mature young man, your parents have done a great job!!! Best to you Tiger, someone will be lucky to have you in their employ one day! Go Tigers!!!

Def the right choice for Ben to make. He’ll still make an impact in football, just in another way.

God speed Ben Batson!
GO TIGERS!!!
