Ex-Michigan WR/KR Dennis Norfleet officially lands at Tuskegee

ANN ARBOR, Michigan -- Dennis Norfleet has found a new home, and his time at Michigan is now officially over.

The wide receiver/kick returner is now officially a member of Tuskegee University's football team, and is eligible to play immediately as a senior. Tuskegee is a Division II program, meaning Norfleet does not have to sit out a year.

The 5-foot-7, 168-pounder is officially enrolled in the school, is on campus in Alabama and took part in initial team meetings Tuesday, per a Tuskegee spokesman.



According to his high school coach, Norfleet was dismissed from Michigan's program by coach Jim Harbaugh shortly after spring practice came to a close. Norfleet was then allowed an opportunity to work his way back onto the program, and ultimately finish his academic career at Michigan.

That never materialized, though, as Norfleet's Michigan career is now officially finished.
