Former Michigan Wolverines defensive lineman Ondre Pipkins announced last week that he would be transferring from the program. He also claims that Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan staff attempted to get him to sign a medical scholarship that would have ended his playing days in Ann Arbor.
Pipkins shared his story with ESPN’s Joe Schad.
“Pipkins said doctors initially told him he has some arthritis in the knee but that he should not be disqualified from competition. But as pressure continued from others within the program to sign the medical form, he was sent by Michigan back to his knee surgeon, who then recommended he rest his body for six months,” Schad wrote.
