Michigan LB Jake Ryan cuts his beautiful, blonde hair

Junior All-Big Ten LB Jake Ryan, who tore his ACL recently, is known for his flowing blonde hair flailing out of his helmet as he crushes running backs and harasses QB's. Almost as much as Denard Robinson's deadlocks, Ryan's viking-like locks have made him a universally know player among Big Ten football fans.... but not anymore.

Ryan, who is recovering from surgery this week, shaved off his hair and donated it, he announced on Twitter.

The ladies of Ann Arbor all just shed a tear...
