Michigan offensive lineman Grant Newsome has a goal.
Newsome, who suffered a devastating knee injury last season that will keep him from playing this year, responded to a tweet from coach Jim Harbaugh on Tuesday with his plan clearly indicated.
Harbaugh shared a video of Newsome running in what he described as “grueling rehab.” Harbaugh also wrote “a lesser man would have thrown in the towel many moons ago.”
Newsome responded on Twitter: “Thanks coach. 09/1/18 can’t come soon enough.”
That’s when the Wolverines open next season at Notre Dame.
While he did not go into detail about his surgeries and 38-day hospital stay, Newsome did share his story for the first time with reporters last April in Italy.
