Michigan Commit Suffers ACL Injury

Current Michigan 2016 commit DB Antwaine Richardson will miss his senior year with a torn ACL, and while the injury just came out publicly, the coaching staff apparently knew about it when they offered him. ESPN West Palm has more:

“I told [the Michigan coaching staff] I tore my ACL before I committed, so they knew what I was coming into,” said Richardson. “They said, ‘We’d still love to have you up here. Just rehab real good so you can get back to normal and start cutting the same.'”

“To me it felt good. That meant they really wanted me. Some schools would back off after they found out you tore your ACL, but they still wanted me.”

Richardson had surgery on July 6th and should be just fine by the time he is ready to get on campus in Ann Arbor.
