Key stAte player suffers career ending injury.
Various reports around Jonesboro have indicated that C Bryce Giddens, who was all conference last season and has been on several award watch lists, has been advised by doctors to end his football career due to multiple concussions going all the way back to High School.

That's a gigantic loss for us. He was one of two sure starters on the OL.

Hate to hear that man. Hope we can improve helmet design to cut down or eliminate this type of thing. We lost a heck of a RB recently to this to.

Tough news but understandable that he would want to do what is best for his health. Do you guys have a good idea who will replace him?

Tough loss if he leaves, and I hate it. But, I understand it if he makes that decision. Some things are just decisions that have to be made. Live a healthy life or catatonic at 40?

My guess is fan favorite Tyler Grieve, whose incredibly popular up here because he's going into Elementary Education, and last spring managed to go through Spring Practice and all the other requirements, while student teaching a class of 2nd graders in a local school.

5th Year Senior Tyler Greve is the leading candidate.

From what I've heard from Dr. buddies concussions are nothing to be taken lightly. I'm sorry to hear it for the man, but I think we all agree we'd rather him stay healthy than risk his life continuing to play football.

Nothing official out of the school, but the Jonesboro Sun has picked it up, and local radio is reporting it as fact.

More media outlets have picked it up. Giddens started all but one game in two years here. His first game as a Freshman, another player started the first half of the Oregon game at Center...Bryce started the 2nd half and never lost the position.

I think they have known for some time he would not be back this year. Most ASU fans seemed to feel that was the case.

Tyler Grieve, replaced him in spring ball, and made the comment he was the starter a few weeks ago. He was expected to start somewhere and will be a very solid center for ASU. Austin Moreton (6‐1, 318, So.‐R), a former DL, has been mentioned as his likely backup.

Tyler's mom lived with us one summer term and his dad is the brother of my wife's best friend in college (though mom and dad are no longer together).

Sad news for any player. Here's to a healthy non-football life for the young man.

stAte has agreed to honor his scholarship this year as he completes his degree. Athletic Department has also offered him an internship as part of a new push to bring as many former players as possible back to work in athletics here.

As is usually customary in those situations.Another unwritten benefit of playing FBS football.The NCAA will allow a medical scholarship not count against the 85 so schools aren't punished in these kinds of situations.

Best of Luck to this young man

Did not know until it appeared in the paper today that he had been cleared to play again.

Apparently the symptoms from his last concussion were so bad, he and his family decided the risk of further injury were not worth the risk.

I really hate to hear about this as I know it is a tough thing to accept. Best wishes to him in his future endeavors.
