Winter Park, Fla. — Michigan center Cesar Ruiz and receiver Nico Collins are among those still considering whether to return for their final seasons with the Wolverines or begin preparations for the NFL Draft.
Both said after the Wolverines’ practice Saturday that they are focused on the Citrus Bowl against Alabama on New Year’s Day and will talk to their families after the game to make this decision.
Ruiz is a two-year starter at center and made five starts at right guard his freshman year. Offensive line coach Ed Warinner has praised Ruiz’ smarts and ability while coaching him these past two years, as he has become a vital cog for an improving line.
