Michigan fifth-year senior defensive tackle Maurice Hurst is mulling whether he will play in the Outback Bowl.
Hurst hopes to decide in the next week whether he will play or sit out like several big-name players did last year in advance of their professional football careers. Hurst is a projected first-round pick.
“Not really sure right now,” Hurst said Thursday. “It’s just business as usual, just practicing and all that type of stuff.”
Last bowl season there were players heading off to pro careers who decided not to participate in their team’s bow Among the big-name players, Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey and LSU’s Leonard Fournette skipped bowl games.
