The openly transgender member of the George Washington women's basketball team, whose groundbreaking season was cut short by a pair of concussions, says he won't play in his senior year.
The school announced that Kye Allums "has decided that it is in his best interest to no longer participate in intercollegiate athletics."
"I alone came to this conclusion," Allums said in a statement released by the university, "and I thank the athletic department for respecting my wishes."
