Notre Dame Freshman Joey Tanona Has Medically Retired From Football

Notre Dame freshman offensive lineman Joey Tanona has decided to medically retire from football

Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman announced that his team will be down a player moving by announcing that freshman offensive lineman Joey Tanona was forced to medically retire.

Tanona was injured in a car accident during the winter, and according to Freeman he just has not been able to get back on track and completely recover from those injuries.

This is a blow for Tanona, whose football career is already over due to the injuries, and its a blow for the Notre Dame offensive line. Tanona was one of the top players to sign with the Notre Dame offense in the 2022 class.

The 6-5, 284-pound offensive lineman was ranked as the nation's No. 63 overall player according to On3, and he graded out as a Top 150 caliber player on the Irish Breakdown board.

An in-state standout at Zionsville (Ind.) High School, Tanona starred at both left tackle and center during his prep career. He was part of a five-man offensive line class that also included Billy Schrauth, Aamil Wagner, Ashton Craig and Ty Chan.
