Michigan Football: Getting Maurice Hurst Back is a Big Deal

Late in the season, Michigan football defensive tackle Maurice Hurst said he was likely coming back to the Wolverines for a fifth season. But Wednesday, he made it official.

Hurst, a fourth-year junior, is coming off a stellar campaign and there was some thought, he could get first-round consideration in the NFL draft. But even so, he confirmed he will spend one more year with Michigan football.

Before the season, Pro Football Focus projected Hurst to be a first-round pick.
