Posted Jul 19, 2024
Tylee Craft is retiring from football, at least for now. A class of 2020 wide receiver from Sumter, SC, Craft was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer and forced him to step away from competition in 2022. "I’ve decided to medically retire for now and will serve as a student coach. But the goal remains the same. I’m going to keep swinging and beat this thing." (Tar Heel Illustrated)
