Report: Former Michigan QB Denard Robinson Joins Wolverines Coaching Staff

Former Wolverines quarterback Denard Robinson is returning to Michigan to serve as the program’s assistant director of player personnel on head coach Jim Harbaugh's staff, according to 247Sports’ Chris Hummer.

Robinson recorded a noteworthy career at Michigan from 2009 to 2012. In 2010, Robinson finished sixth in voting for the Heisman Trophy, set the FBS record for rushing yards as a quarterback and became the only player in FBS history to throw and rush for 1,500 yards in a single season while earning All-American honors.

He also played an integral part in helping Michigan record an 11–2 mark in 2011 and the program’s only victory against the Buckeyes prior to the Wolverines defeating Ohio State in the 2021 season.
