Background on Justice Haynes
Haynes joined Michigan last year after transferring from Alabama. During his time with the Wolverines, he showcased his talent by rushing for 857 yards and scoring 10 touchdowns across seven games. His performance positioned him as one of the top running backs in college football.
Injury Impact

This injury sidelined him for the remainder of the season, altering his trajectory as a promising athlete. He is now entering his fourth season of college football and is looking for a fresh start elsewhere.
