Michigan announces indefinite suspension of Denard Robinson after DUI arrest

Michigan football staffer Denard Robinson found himself on the wrong side of the law Monday morning after being arrested following a car crash where it was later revealed that he was intoxicated, per reports.

Shortly after the news was revealed, the Wolverines head football coach, Sherrone Moore, addressed the issue and provided the following statement.

“We are aware of an incident involving Denard Robinson and have suspended him indefinitely. We will continue to monitor the situation and will have no further comment at this time,” said Moore, according to ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg.

Robinson played quarterback for Michigan from 2009-12. At the time of the arrest, he was the Wolverines’ assistant director of player personnel, a position he has held since 2022.

Robinson arrested Monday morning following car crash

Robinson was arrested Monday morning, according to M Live’s Aaron McMann. He was involved in a car crash while intoxicated.

“Michigan staffer Denard Robinson was arrested early this morning in Ann Arbor for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated,” McMann wrote on Twitter. “Police spokesman tells (M Live) Robinson, the team’s assistant director of player personnel, was involved in a single-vehicle crash at 3:05 a.m.”

While with Michigan, Robinson played at a high level, being a First-Team All-American in 2010. He was also the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year and the Big Ten’s MVP.

He was also the Gator Bowl MVP in 2011. Robinson was quite the dual-threat quarterback during his time with the Wolverines.

Robinson finished his college career with 6,250 passing yards, 49 touchdowns, 39 interceptions, a 57.2% completion percentage, 4,495 rushing yards and 42 rushing touchdowns.

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected him in the fifth round (No. 135) as a running back rather than a quarterback. After playing four seasons, Robinson’s best year came in 2014.

He finished his NFL career with 259 carries for 1,041 yards, five touchdowns, four yards per carry, 47 catches and 310 receiving yards.

Robinson began his coaching career in 2019 when the Jaguars hired him as an offensive analyst. He eventually moved to the front office and was hired by his alma mater in 2022.
