It doesn’t sound like Texas quarterback David Ash will return to the field any time soon.
Head coach Charlie Strong said at his Monday press conference that Ash is out “indefinitely” due to his ongoing concussion symptoms. Sophomore Tyrone Swoopes will continue to start.
Charlie Strong on David Ash: "Right now David is indefinitely out. Tyrone (Swoopes) is our quarterback."
— Orangebloods.com (@OBWire) September 8, 2014 Ash managed to play all of the Longhorns’ season-opening win against North Texas, but after the game the senior’s concussion issues returned. A concussion kept Ash out of 10 games in 2013 after a head injury sustained against BYU last season.
The statement from Strong doesn’t sound promising for Ash, who will continue to be monitored by doctors. Concussions and head injuries are nothing to mess around with for the young man’s long-term health. Don’t be surprised if this marks the unfortunate end of Ash’s playing career.
Swoopes started in the Longhorns' blowout loss to BYU on Saturday and completed 20-of-31 passes for 176 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The Longhorns face UCLA this weekend before starting Big 12 play.
