UM’s Hurst expands worldview via Uber, studying abroad

Ann Arbor – — You never know who your Uber driver might be — maybe it’s Michigan defensive tackle Maurice Hurst Jr.

Hurst has been on the Uber clock this summer, in addition to interning at Blue Lion Fitness in Ann Arbor, logging miles and earning money.

“I’ve just done it for extra cash, pretty much that’s it,” the affable 6-foot-2, 282-pound lineman said. “I definitely like the flexibility. I can work whenever, which helps with my schedule with (football) workouts and working at Blue Lion Fitness.”

Once camp begins Aug. 8, however, Hurst’s Uber days will be over.
