| 9th January, 2008 - 5:31 pm | SI.com - Ryan Mallett's father said Wednesday the quarterback has left the Michigan football program while wide receiver Adrian Arrington announced that he will be entering the 2008 NFL draft.
Rich Rodriguez said a day earlier he did not expect to coach Mallett, Arrington, or wide receiver Mario Manningham at Michigan. Rodriguez said Arrington and Manningham would skip their senior seasons.
"Today is a very emotional day for me," Arrington said in a statement released by the school. "As much as I will miss my teammates, friends, and Michigan football family, I have always dreamed about playing in the NFL."
"I believe that I am ready to take on this challenge and move on to the next level. Though I will be catching passes in another city starting next fall, I will always be a Michigan man."
Mallett might be reunited with his offensive coordinator and quarterbacks' coach.
"He's on his way home," Jim Mallett told The Associated Press. "We don't know where he's going to go yet, but we need to do something quick. We're going to visit three, four or five schools."
The former Texas Class 4A offensive player of the year may end up at Tennessee, which is considering hiring former Michigan Offensive Coordinator Mike DeBord and Quarterbacks' Coach Scott Loeffler. [READ] |
