Metro & state: Concussions force former Michigan QB Steven Threet to quit

Former Michigan quarterback Steven Threet, who has suffered four concussions in the past five years, told the Arizona Republic that he's giving up football.

The junior from Adrian played at Arizona State last year and suffered two concussions. He completed 61.9% of his passes for 2,534 yards and 18 touchdowns with 16 interceptions for ASU.

"At this point, I think this is the best decision, given the circumstances I'm in," Threet told the newspaper, adding that he's still experiencing symptoms.

Threet transferred from Georgia Tech, sat out 2007 and played in 11 games for the Wolverines in 2008, passing for 1,1,05 yards, nine TDs and seven interceptions.

In 2009, he left Ann Arbor and again sat out a season before playing for ASU.
