| Florida State quarterback Wyatt Sexton has opted to leave the Florida State football team and will not participate during his senior year.
"This has been the most difficult decision I have ever had to make in my entire life. But after consultation with my doctor and my family, I've decided not to rejoin the football team," Wyatt said in a statement issued by the school. "I will focus on regaining my health and my academic pursuit of getting an MBA."
Sexton missed his entire junior season after he was diagnosed with Lyme disease last summer. A month earlier, in June, Sexton was hospitalized after he was found lying in the street and identified himself to police as God.
Sexton was 5-2 as Florida State's starting quarterback in 2004, playing in a total of 10 games that season. In his two years at FSU, Sexton completed 142-of-257 passes for 1,717 yards with eight touchdowns and eight interceptions. He had been the Seminoles' projected starter until he was sidelined.

| I dont buy the Lyme disease theory either. Ive sat in many hours of prevention classes and Tick safety, signs/ symptoms.
Fort A.P Hill Va has to be one of the worst places for deer ticks i have ever seen. The early Flu like symptoms including fever, weakness etc, doesn't justify some of his actions when he was arrested. I feel for the guy now having to live with this illness
Best of luck to him working towards his degree and much success in life...

| Whether the Lyme disease deal is legit or not, I respect his decision to quit playing football and wish him the best in pursuit of an education.

| I heard that it was a trip to Boneroo that caused Wyatt to identify himself as God. Take that for what it's worth.
