Ann Arbor – Michigan running back Chris Evans, suspended a year by the university for academic reasons, will be reinstated for winter term and eligible to play football next year.
Evans has not been enrolled at Michigan during his suspension.
“We will welcome him back to the football team,” Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday. “He will be eligible to play.”
Last week via Twitter, Evans hinted at his return. He has one year of eligibility remaining.
“I been in the dark, but I PROMISE you’ll see a brighter me!” Evans tweeted.
Evans was suspended by the University of Michigan in early February.
