Michigan staffer Denard Robinson was arrested Monday morning, according to M Live’s Aaron McMann. He was involved in a car crash while intoxicated.

“Michigan staffer Denard Robinson was arrested early this morning in Ann Arbor for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated,” McMann wrote on Twitter. “Police spokesman tells (M Live) Robinson, the team’s assistant director of player personnel, was involved in a single-vehicle crash at 3:05 a.m.”

Robinson, a former quarterback for the Wolverines from 2009-12, joined Michigan in 2022 as the assistant director of player personnel.

seems like a slap on the wrist, now we'll just have to wait another 4 years to found out what they do about Connor Stallions.

watched the spring game. can’t take much away from these things as usual. Alex Orji is probably going to be the guy at QB but the former walk-on Davis Warren surprised. 

DJ Waller looked really good at CB, which shouldn’t surprise as he got a lot of run last year as a true frosh. I thought Jyaire Hill, Jaden McBurrows, and Zeke Berry all looked the part as well. Losing FS Rod Moore to injury was a crushing blow, but Michigan should have a really good secondary again. There’s some nice young talent and Will Johnson at CB and Makari Paige at SS are great building blocks. 

The defense should be excellent again. Offense- who knows and I am interested to see what it looks like. Orji doing read options either pulling it or handing it to Donovan Edwards could result in some explosive rushing plays. Passing attack probably going to be not fun to watch however. Orji doesn’t look the crispest throwing the ball and the WR talent is pretty bare. Great TE group though…

I'm not so sure Orji is the guy, he needs to improve his passing game greatly.  Maybe it'll be Tuttle but I'm thinking it'll be Warren unless they pick up a phenom in the portal.

Orji reminds me of Michigan Milton
Tuttle reminds me of O'Korn
Warren is like a McNamara Lite.

true soph CB DJ Waller to the transfer portal as well as true frosh LB Jeremiah Beasley.

Neither one makes much sense to me. Oh well. Waller was in a serious battle with Jyaire Hill to be CB2 opposite star Will Johnson. He was the 3rd CB at worst, makes no sense to leave unless he feels he's a gauranteed starter somewhere else. Jeremiah Beasley wasn't in contention to play this year, he was almost certainly a redshirt- and that one kind of make you scratch your head.

Beasley is an unknown, but Waller I think has a nice ceiling and could be a real player for someone this year, and he's really shown flashes as a true frosh and in the spring of being a player- and he's nearly 6'3 and can still move well enough to play CB- which is a rarity.
