Shea Patterson to Forego 2019 NFL Draft, Return to Michigan

Quarterback Shea Patterson will return to Michigan in 2019 for his senior season.

He explained the decision to return to school in an interview with Angelique S. Chengelis of the Detroit News.

“I think my original plan was to come here and help the team out as much as I could,” Patterson said. “The thoughts were maybe come out after one year, so I think there might have been some speculation there. At this point, I feel like everybody thinks I’m coming back. Excited to get that out there so they know.”

Patterson helped return the Wolverines to national prominence in 2018 by throwing for 2,364 yards and 21 touchdowns in 12 games.
