Retires from Big Red Football!




Todd has decided to retire from college football. He won't let me say quite just retire. It was a really hard decision for him since he loves football so much and has played for so long. With spring ball starting on friday he had to make his mind up now. Not to play his Sr. year was really hard, but it was time for him to move on. Are family is getting bigger and with him wanting to get into PT school next year he knew he wouldn't have time for it all. I'm proud of his decision of putting his family first. I was sad to think of never seeing him play football again, but so excited to have him home with us. It's to bad Cornell is losing it's cutest football player!

I'm sure this must have been a hard decision for Todd, and for all of you, but look how far football has gotten him! Your little family is very blessed and any decision you make with the Lord's help is the right one. We can't wait to see what the future holds for you...hopefully back in Arizona!

What a nice tribute, Abby! Sounds like a tough decision for sure. I'm sure you will love having him around more though.

We will miss seeing Todd play football for sure, but it was the only decision he could make with all that is going on. Tough call, but right. We know why you love him!
