Former Pro Bowl DB latest Michigan football alum to allege abuse by Dr. Robert Anderson

Dwight Hicks was once seduced by the aura surrounding his alma mater — the winged helmets, the Block M, the dramatic “Hail to the Victors” fight song.

He couldn’t wait to leave his home in New Jersey and become a Michigan man.

“I sought out and traveled to Ann Arbor, Michigan, with all the hopes and dreams of an 18-year-old just starting out in life,” he said.

But when he arrived there as a football player in 1974, he was introduced to Dr. Robert Anderson, the late team physician who is accused of sexual abuse by numerous men examined by him during routine physicals and other visits.
