Today, more reports broke surrounding the Wolverines and the multiple scandals and investigations that Jim Harbaugh and his team find themselves in right now. From Connor Stalions and his sign-stealing to ‘Burgergate,’ the FBI investigation into Matt Weiss, and new reports surrounding a former staffer that solicited a 13-year-old girl, the media cycle surrounding the Maize and Blue is looking rough. Still, through it all, ex-Michigan football star Khalid Hill (FB/TE) has a message for his former school and the current players.

Ex-Michigan football star has message for current team

Today, a former Michigan football standout, who rose to prominence on Jim Harbaugh’s second team in Ann Arbor (2016), released a message for the Wolverines’ current team. Here is what the ex-Wolverine (and current LTU tight ends coach) had to say via his Twitter.

“To the players, hold y’all head (high), don’t let the outside world in, control what you can control,” Khalid Hill wrote. “The world is pointing to everything else in the world besides the work you put in every day. All the late nights, all the early mornings.

“At the end of the day, it’s 11 guys on that field, and on the snap of the ball, you fight your fight,” he added. “WIN. Leave no doubt. You boys belong and deserve everything coming. LOVE Y’ALL BOYS.”

This weekend, No. 3 Michigan football will take the field for the second time since the sign-stealing allegations were first reported. The last time the Wolverines were under outside duress from the media and more, Michigan hung 49 points on Michigan State in East Lansing — this weekend, rest assured that Jim Harbaugh and company will be looking to do more of the same before hitting the road to face Penn State in Week 11.
