Baltimore native and former West Virginia star wide receiver Tavon Austin took to Instagram on Tuesday to officially announce his retirement from the NFL.

Austin attended Dunbar High School in Baltimore, Maryland, where he played football and basketball and ran track. Austin led Dunbar to three consecutive Class 1A state titles as a running back.

A Two-time Maryland Consensus Offensive Player of the Year and Consensus first-team All-state, Austin chose West Virginia over other offers. He developed into a dynamic weapon and two-time All-American.

Austin played nine seasons for four teams, including the Rams and Cowboys. He had 244 catches for 2,239 yards and scored 29 touchdowns, along with 190 punt returns for 1,515 yards.
