Ann Arbor — Players like Michigan linebacker Noah Furbush, who have the potential to play at the next level but choose a more selfless path, don’t come along often.

Furbush has a degree in aerospace engineering and is pursuing a Master of Engineering degree in space engineering. He also had an interception in last week’s win against Western Michigan.

“He’s a very dedicated player,” Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said of Furbush this week.
