Michigan Tuesday: Hat Tip to Trente Jones

Trente Jones was signed by the Green Bay Packers as a UDFA recently and was named by PFF as the top UDFA to watch.  As a reminder, he started 14 games on the offensive line in 4 years as a Wolverine.  He completed rookie mini camp with the Packers earlier this month and then retired on Monday.  


Per Trente, he has a back issue that will not allow him to continue to play football.  He is a very smart kid and had a perfect 4.0 grade point at Michigan.  He is also getting his Masters Degree in Social Work in Ann Arbor which seems to be his passion. 

Congratulations to Trente on gaining clarity on what's important to him and having a successful college football career.  Best of luck to you 3-time Big Ten Champion and National Champion!

Best of luck to Shoelace. When you work with impressionable student athletes, a coach and leader's actions are everything. The right move by Michigan.

M should have provided counseling and medical care to help him with what appears to be a serious drinking problem. He deserves special care.
