In the last few days, defensive lineman Rashan Gary (HERE) and linebacker Devin Bush (HERE) have both announced that they will be skipping Michigan’s bowl game. Thursday, a teammate on the other side of the ball has done the same.
On his personal Instagram account this morning, Karan Higdon confirmed, “after a thorough evaluation between my parents and the UM staff, we have deemed that it is in my best interests to not play in the Peach Bowl. " Instead, and as is the case with a growing number of players, the running back will “utilize this time to get prepared to pursue my dreams in the NFL.”
Higdon is a fourth-year senior whose eligibility expires at the end of the 2018 season.
