In a surprising move that has sent ripples through the college football world, the University of Michigan has officially appointed Desmond Howard as the new Assistant General Manager of its football program. The former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL veteran brings a wealth of experience, leadership, and a deep connection to Michigan football.
Howard, who starred as a wide receiver and return specialist for the Wolverines in the early 1990s, is widely regarded as one of the program’s all-time greats. His iconic Heisman pose in 1991 remains one of college football’s most memorable moments. Following his collegiate success, he enjoyed a notable NFL career, including a Super Bowl MVP performance with the Green Bay Packers.
The decision to bring Howard back into the Michigan fold in a managerial role marks a strategic effort to strengthen the program’s leadership off the field. As Assistant General Manager, he will work closely with recruiting staff, player development personnel, and head coach Sherrone Moore to elevate Michigan’s competitiveness nationally.
University officials and fans alike are enthusiastic about the move, seeing it as a reunion of past glory with future ambition. Howard’s legacy at Michigan now enters a bold new chapter.
