Former Michigan quarterback Ryan Mallett reportedly drowned in Florida on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.

Mallett, 35, was the head football coach at White Hall (Arkansas) High.

After playing for the Wolverines in 2007, Mallett opted to transfer to Arkansas after Michigan coach Lloyd Carr retired.

He appeared in 11 games with Michigan as a freshman, throwing for 892 yards, seven touchdowns and five interceptions. In two seasons at Arkansas, he threw for 7,493 yards and 62 touchdowns (with 19 interceptions).

Mallett was drafted by the New England Patriots in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
