MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The drama surrounding Michigan football’s Daxton Hill came to an end shortly after 6 p.m. Friday when the defensive back strolled onto the field during early warmups at Hard Rock Stadium for the College Football Playoff semifinal against Georgia.
He returned in full pads shortly thereafter.
For much of the week it seemed like Michigan would be without Hill, a potential first-round pick and a first-team All-Big Ten performer, Friday's Orange Bowl. Rumors spread across social media on Tuesday that Hill had remained in Ann Arbor when the Wolverines traveled to Fort Lauderdale.
