Offensive lineman Jalen Mayfield had opted out from Michigan when the Big Ten last month postponed the season, choosing to prepare for the NFL and signed with an agent. With the season back on, he is now returning.
Mayfield made the decision Friday to rejoin the Wolverines, two sources confirmed to The Detroit News. TheWolverine.com was the first to report the news.
There has been similar activity across the Big Ten as players who had opted out after Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren on Aug. 11 announced the postponement of fall sports because of lingering health and safety concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, are choosing to return.
