It appears that Michigan’s Desmond Morgan will be able to return for a fifth year.
Morgan, who missed the final 11 games of the 2014 season due to an arm injury, announced on social media that he’s been granted a medical redshirt that will allow of him to suit up for the Wolverines in 2015.
Round 5 is official. Thanks NCAA http://t.co/PRk3N1t8jn
— Desmond Morgan (@D_Morgan48) February 10, 2015 The 6-foot-1, 232-pound Morgan played in the team’s opener against Appalachian State and made six tackles, but did not see the field for the rest of the season. Morgan’s absence was a big loss, especially after he started a combined 31 games in his first three seasons with the program.
In those three seasons, Morgan registered a combined 223 tackles, 14 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks.
Junior Joe Bolden stepped up with Morgan out and was second on the team with 102 tackles. With Morgan back in the mix, the Wolverines have some solid depth at linebacker for new defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin to work with.
