Michigan linebacker Devin Bush to skip senior season, enter NFL Draft

Michigan linebacker and co-captain Devin Bush has been thinking a lot about his future since suffering a hip injury in the regular-season finale at Ohio State.

Bush, named the Big Ten’s Defensive Player of the Year, on Wednesday announced in a Twitter statement he will not return for his final year of eligibility to pursue the NFL Draft. He also said he has not been medically cleared to play in the Peach Bowl on Dec. 29.

“Despite getting treatment every day, I have not been cleared to practice or play in the Peach Bowl due to the hip injury I suffered in the last game,” Bush wrote.
