One of Bill Belichick’s running backs is calling it quits five games into his senior season.

Caleb Hood announced that he was going to “retire from football” in an Instagram post. Bill Belichick and North Carolina confirmed his departure with a statement on Friday.

“After much thought, prayer and discussion with my family, I have decided to retire from football,” Hood wrote on Instagram. “My journey at UNC has been special and I appreciate my time here. I am excited to start the next chapter and will always take my memories of Carolina with me. I want to thank Coach Belichick, Coach (Freddie) Kitchens and Coach (Natrone) Means for giving me an opportunity, as well as all my other coaches and teammates throughout my years of football for the impact they’ve all had on my life!”
