Michigan Offensive Starter Out For The Spring Due To Injury

Mlive.com’s Aaron McMann is reporting that fullback Ben Mason has torn his meniscus and will miss the remainder of the spring:

Mason, who will be a sophomore this season, plans to have surgery to repair a torn meniscus he suffered in practice, head coach Jim Harbaugh revealed this week on his “Attack Each Day” podcast.

“He was cracking skulls, doing Ben Mason stuff,” Harbaugh said. “As spring ball was going, he complained a little bit about his knee. His knee just didn’t feel right.”

With Henry Poggi and Khalid Hill graduating, Mason is expected to step in and be the starter at FB next year.
