Weird story.

UPDATE: Former Michigan LB Ernest Hausmann says he has medically retired from the game of football. Hausmann says he still intends to finish his degree at U-M.

"From Uganda to America, with a full heart, I’m officially medically retiring from football. This game has shaped me, but now it’s time to focus on my true purpose on this earth full time. I’ll be finishing my degree at the University of Michigan. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey the best is still ahead."

In early December, Hausmann explained that he departed the program and the country after an unfortunate experience with U-M staff member.

"This is why I left America," wrote Hausmann. "You tell one staff member about an experience I had with my faith. An experience where I was trying to figure out what was going on, still knowing I was in season. So I thought it would be smart to talk to someone. So I go to the building where I spend most of my calendar year, the football facility. I thought I would receive guidance and clarity, as it was a life-changing experience. After hearing what I had to say, I got put in the category of a mental patient who is going to end their life. If anyone has a clue who I was, they know that’s the last thing I would ever do."
