Even by college football recruiting standards, this story is unusual -- Jordan Hoiem, a consensus three-star DL/LB prospect in the class of 2014, decided to quit football altogether. Hoiem committed to play for the Oregon Ducks in March.
Oregon commit Jordan Hoiem quits football
The 2014 prospect decided that continuing to play football isn’t worth it.


Just confirmed with Hoiem. The Oregon commit has indeed decided retire from football. He won't play at Oregon or anywhere else ever again.

Oregon commit Jordan Hoiem quit fb because: "I didn't love it. I just had no fun. I just know football doesn't make me happy."

That’s got to be a tough realization on some level. Go find what does make you happy, man.
