Wolverines fire Denard Robinson after drunken driving arrest

Michigan staff member Denard Robinson, a former star quarterback for the Wolverines who was suspended following a drunken driving arrest last month, is no longer employed by the team, a spokesman told ESPN.

Robinson, who had been Michigan's assistant director of player personnel, was suspended April 15, hours after being arrested for operating while intoxicated after a single-vehicle crash in Ann Arbor. According to Ann Arbor police, the 33-year-old was arrested at approximately 3:05 a.m. after the crash, which occurred about 1.5 miles south of Michigan's football headquarters at Schembechler Hall.

Former Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh hired Robinson in February 2022, after Robinson had worked as a scouting assistant and in quality control for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
