JUST IN: #Gamecock starting tight end Kiel Pollard is ending his football career after breaking his neck. Was expected to be a very big part of the offense this season.

Damn. Hate it for the kid, but sounds like he's got his head screwed on the right way. That's a rare commodity in today's world. Wish him the best of luck moving forward.

Hate to hear that. Smart to quit; that's not an injury you want to take a chance on.

The broken neck didn’t end his career. They found another issue when being treated.

yep a cyst on his spine
injury might end up being a blessing in disguise

Yikes ... well, I am glad he isn't going to risk his future just for his love to play. Sometimes you have to be smart and know when you need to take a different path.

I wish the kid all the luck in the world going forward.

Just damn. I hate to hear this kind of stuff.

Hope he recovers, finishes his degree, and has a successful life.

Ahh man, what a bummer. And his message shares some insight to his character. He seems to be a classy kid and I'm sure he'll have a bright future.
