Dennis Norfleet endured a few days of homesickness, and he watched his former team play in a wildly hyped season opener, but the Detroit native is happy in a new place now, playing football and moving forward.
Norfleet, released from his Michigan scholarship by new coach Jim Harbaugh, is now a running back for the Tuskegee Golden Tigers in Alabama and earned Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Newcomer of the Week honors for his performance in their season-opening 26-0 victory last week of Clark Atlanta last week.
The senior, who played for Detroit King, had 90 all-purpose yards in his first game for Tuskegee, including rushing, receiving and kick return yards.
