Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh assures that quarterback Shea Patterson, a transfer from Ole Miss who is awaiting a decision from the NCAA regarding his petition for immediate eligibility, has been engaged in practices and the quarterback competition.
Patterson transferred to Michigan last December from Ole Miss, which was slapped with three years of probation and a two-year bowl ban by the NCAA. He and several of his teammates transferred, contending they were lied to by former head coach Hugh Freeze, members of the football staff and athletic department personnel during their recruitment in 2016 regarding the breadth of NCAA violations.
