Why?
Falcon was a standout running back at Southfield High School, but he suffered the second ACL tear of his career prior to the start of his senior season. He was offered a medical scholarship in place of an athletic scholarship by U-M coach Jim Harbaugh.
No...the more I read about ol Jim, the less I like him. Has a record of throwing players under the bus when they get injured. Media loves to portray him as the golden boy but he's anything but that...he even starting to make Nick Saban look tame.
This is not uncommon. With limits on scholarships and coaches under pressure to win big, this happens. Pretty much every coach will make a decision like this. He was still offered a free education. He chose football at another school. Two ACL's are risky.
