Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh announced Tuesday that the program hired female graduate assistant Milan Bolden-Morris to join the Wolverines football staff.
Bolden-Morris will work with Michigan’s quarterbacks and becomes the first female assistant in a Power Five conference. She recently finished her basketball career at Georgetown and will join Harbaugh’s staff on June 1 after finishing her master’s degree in sports management in May.
Morris, who is the sister of Wolverines defensive end Mike Morris, inquired about openings within the Wolverines football program. After Harbaugh held conversations with Morris, he was impressed with her "desire and ideas for coaching" and how to improve the team.
