David Ash (American football)

David Ash (born May 1, 1993) is a former American football quarterback. He played college football for the University of Texas at Austin from 2011 to 2014.

Ash was a highly-rated recruit coming out of Belton High School in Belton, Texas. He saw significant playing time as a true freshman for the Longhorns in 2011, eventually becoming the starting quarterback. He continued to be the starting quarterback in 2012 and the beginning of 2013.

Ash's college career was significantly impacted by concussions. He suffered several head injuries throughout his time at Texas, which ultimately led to his retirement from football in September 2014. He attempted a comeback in 2015, but ultimately decided against it due to continued concerns about his health.

After football, Ash pursued a career in medicine.
