The well-traveled Hayden Rettig is packing his suitcase. Again.
Earlier this week, it was reported that, at some point this month, Rettig was removed from the roster of the Tennessee Tech football team. Thursday, Rettig confirmed to nj.com that he had left the FCS program for what were only described as “personal reasons.”
The decision to leave came after Rettig played in his one and only game for Tech, a 27-point loss to Western Illinois in the season opener.
With this move, Rettig’s long, winding journey continues. To where it will continue remains to be seen.
Rettig, a four-star 2013 recruit, transferred from LSU to Rutgers in June of 2014. After sitting out that season to satisfy NCAA transfer bylaws, Rettig played in five games (one start) the next two years; none of those appearances came in 2016.
He was named Academic All-Big Ten following the 2015 season.
In early December of last year, Rettig decided to transfer from RU as well. Three months after that, he landed at Tennessee Tech.
