| Washington Charles Retires From FOOTBALL |
The Washington Huskies could have just lost their best offensive lineman, with Coach Chris announcing on Monday morning that Charles is retiring for medical reasons. Chris mentioned a lingering knee injury as the reason Charles is leaving the football scene. Chris is stepping away after starting over 30 games in the last three years that he has been playing for the club. He further continued to say that they are very disappointed his injury will not allow him to continue playing in the College Football 2015/NCAA 2015. However, he was fast to appreciate what Charles has been able to do for the team and wished him all the best as he continues aspiring to become a coach one day.
Charles had missed spring practice sessions because of the injury and had been the only full time starter for Washington on the offensive line. He was supposed to start at the left guard, but to the surprise of many, he has been able to play in multiple positions. The huskies make their entry into the season on 4th September in Boise State, where Peterson had assisted build the broncos before leaving for Washington back in 2013.
With over 30 starts through the first three seasons he was at the club, it is an undisputed fact that Charles was the most experienced player of the Washington’s, considering their relatively inexperienced lineup. Born in Camano Island, Charles has already graduated with a degree from UV and it was only normal for him to start as a starting left guard for the Huskies. For the better part of his career Charles has been playing through a series of injuries and it was the only time that would tell what happened next. As he continues playing, it was clear that the main problem was in his shoulder.
Everyone at the club was very disappointed for this kind of news to come at this time when the College Football 2015/NCAA 2015 is just starting. With the inexperienced quarterback left, it will not be easy for the huskies to get through this season without struggle.
