• John Harbaugh cut Jake Ryan yesterday.  He had only been with Baltimore for a month.  He is coming off an ACL injury in 2018 with the Jags.

• Jim Harbaugh spoke with 4 star 2021 Tackle Thomas Cole on the phone Thursday.  Thomas is a 6'7 OT. 

• Denard has a new job with the Jags as a quality control coach.  Congrats!   

• Michigan Baseball had 4 total players drafted.   The MLB draft is now 5 rounds instead of 40.
