Frosh Gardner Could Be The Answer In Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor, MI Entering his third season, Michigan Wolverines Head Coach Rich Rodriguez missed out on his first chance at getting a dynamic player at the quarterback position when Terrell Pryor chose the Scarlet and Gray of Ohio St. over Michigan’s Maize and Blue back in 2008.

This past Saturday, April 17, the Michigan faithful filled the revamped Big House in Ann Arbor to begin the first of many debates on who will be the signal caller for the Wolverines in 2010. Denard Robinson opened up the spring game in the cold wind, with last year’s starter Tate Forcier coming in after that.

Report: Two Players Failed Drug Test At Combine

Jay Glazer and Alex Marvez, of FOXSports.com, reports Southern California TE Anthony McCoy and Georgia Tech RB Jonathan Dwyer reportedly flunked their drug tests at the NFL Scouting Combine, according to a source. Dwyer allegedly tested positive for amphetamines, but he had clearance to take a prescribed medicine for a medical condition. McCoy reportedly tested positive for marijuana.

Tony Pike Makes The Rounds

In addition to private workout with the Bengals, Pike has received attention from the Chiefs, Broncos, Patriots, 49ers, Cardinals and Vikings. All of those teams are in position to draft someone and have them develop on the bench for a season or two.

Unga To Withdraw From BYU

PROVO, Utah — BYU student-athlete Harvey Unga announced he has decided to withdraw from school. Unga made the decision to withdraw as a result of a violation of the BYU honor code.

Unga, a 6-foot, 237-pound running back, is the school’s all-time leading rusher with 3,455 yards gained over his first three seasons in the Cougar backfield. He led the Mountain West Conference in rushing last year while garnering first-team All-MWC honors after a third consecutive 1,000-yard season.

“I fully support Harvey and his decision regarding his personal situation,” BYU football coach Bronco Mendenhall said. “The possibility of not having Harvey on the field in the fall would certainly have an impact on our team, but my main concern right now is in supporting Harvey.”

Women’s basketball player Keilani Moeaki has also withdrawn from the school due to an honor code violation.
