It seems like De’Veon Smith had a long career with Michigan football.
In that 2013 game against Ohio State—when Devin Gardner played on a fractured foot and the Wolverines came within a 2-point conversion of winning—Smith was Michigan’s leading rusher. He had seven carries for 57 yards, which was almost half of what he ended up with that season.
He followed up that performance by being a steady presence in Michigan’s backfield for the next three years, culminating in an 846-yard 2016 campaign in which he averaged 4.7 yards per carry and had 10 touchdowns.
