Michigan Football Player to Leave for Draft

University of Michigan defensive tackle Willie Henry will forgo his final year and enter the 2016 NFL draft. Henry made the announcement on social media yesterday and thanked his teammates and the coaching staff, including former coach Brady Hoke. He said the decision was not easy, but he and his family thought this is the right time and the right choice. Henry, who was redshirted as a freshman, played in 35 games in three years for the Wolverines and had 40 solo and 46 assisted tackles and 10 sacks.

Tigers

The Tigers have avoided going to arbitration with relief pitcher Justin Wilson. Wilson, who was acquired last month from the Yankees, agreed to a one-year deal reportedly worth over one-point-five-million-dollars. Infielders Jose Iglesias and Andrew Romine and outfielder J.D. Martinez are Detroit's last three arbitration-eligible players left to sign contracts.
