After attempting a comeback from Lyme disease, former FSU Seminoles signal caller Wyatt Sexton has decided to end his college career. Sexton, who is the sun of FSU running backs coach Billy Sexton, sat out the entire 05' season after being diagnosed with Lyme disease last July. A month earlier, Sexton was committed to a psychiatric facility after being found disoriented on the streets of Tallahassee and identifying himself to local police as God.

Since then Wyatt Sexton had begun flinging the football around again and even participated with the team in practices prior to this year's Orange Bowl matchup against Penn State. However, his chances of cracking the starting lineup again were slim. He was third on the depth chart behind current freshman starter Drew Weatherford and fellow freshman Xavier Lee.

Sexton said that the decision to quit football at FSU was one of the hardest and most painful decisions he has ever made.
