When Michigan football was wrapping up spring practice overseas in 2017, the best skill player on a young offense was one of the youngest on the roster.

Tarik Black, a 6-foot-3 underrated receiver from Connecticut soared through the air, caught everything, routinely ran himself open and looked as close to a sure-fire thing as the Wolverines had at the time.

A lot can happen in two years.

And for Black, who suffered a broken bone in each foot over the past two seasons, the struggle has been beyond challenging.
