Baylor, former Ohio OL Kurt Danneker announces medical retirement from football

Baylor and former Ohio offensive lineman Kurt Danneker announced on Thursday he was medically retiring from football. Danneker’s decision comes after a third ACL injury that has made it “impossible” for him to continue his career.

Danneker began his college career at Ohio, enrolling as a member of the Class of 2018. He transferred to Baylor in January 2024 to play his final year of college football.

“Unfortunately, a third ACL injury has made it impossible for me to continue playing,” Danneker said in a statement on social media. “My health and future well-being must come first. Although I won’t be able to contribute on the field, I will always support my teammates and this program in any way I can.”
