QB Morris leaving Michigan, can play in 2017

Michigan quarterback Shane Morris has decided to leave the Wolverines and will be immediately eligible next season as a graduate transfer.

Morris, who announced his decision Monday on Twitter, appeared in six games as a backup this season and completed 4 of 5 passes. He did not play in 2015 but started one game each in 2013 and 2014.

His most memorable moment involved a controversy in 2014.

Morris started that year's game against Minnesota and was left in the contest after displaying concussion-like symptoms. Michigan coach Brady Hoke and athletic director Dave Brandon came under fire for their handling of the situation, and protests erupted on campus calling for Brandon's removal.
