Michigan's running back depth suffered another potential blow this week when the school confirmed senior Chris Evans is not currently with the team.
Evans, who was in line to be the Wolverines top returning rusher in 2019, said on Twitter he was dealing with some academic issues and had no plans to leave the university.
"I'm not leaving Michigan," he told ESPN.
A Michigan spokesman confirmed Evan is "not a member of the football team at this time," but privacy laws prevented the school from adding anymore context to the senior's absence. It is not clear when or if Evans would be able to return to the team.
