Michigan will not have a returning starter at center in 2014.
Jack Miller, the Wolverines' starter in 2014, won't play football in 2015 according to an athletic department official. Miller would have been a fifth-year senior in 2015.
According to TheWolverine.com, the decision came after Miller participated in a few spring practices this season.
Miller spoke with enthusiasm and anticipation following Jim Harbaugh's introduction as Michigan's new head coach. Miller talked about a U-M team that was ready to win, but had to have a little extra push to get over the top in that area. He sounded hopeful that Michigan's veteran players, combined with a new crew of coaches, could accomplish it together.
Miller was a rock on Michigan's offensive line in 2014, starting every game. He started four games in 2013. He was an integral part of the Wolverines' offensive line improvement in 2014. With new offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier, Michigan running backs averaged 4.6 yards a carry in 2014 vs. 3.3 yards a carry in 2013. Plus, the Wolverines gave up 10 fewer sacks (26) in 2014 than they did in 2013.
