Official Announcement | Ruffin McNeil Temporarily Stepping Away From Football By: The Football Brainiacs Posted on: January 23, 2020

Oklahoma has officially announced that Ruffin McNeil will temporarily step away from football.

“This was one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make,” said McNeill. “But in the end, being near my dad was a necessary choice. Right now I need to be a son again and I need to help my brother and other family members take care of my dad, who is battling significant health issues. This is not retirement for me. I still want to coach in some form or fashion. But right now that can’t be the case. My focus needs to be on my dad back in North Carolina.”
