Michigan kicks OL Logan Tuley-Tillman off team

Michigan is facing its first off-field adversity of the season: Offensive tackle Logan Tuley-Tillman has been kicked off the team.

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh did not provide details beyond a released statement that read: “Logan Tuley-Tillman has been dismissed from the football team for conduct unacceptable for a Michigan student athlete.”

Tuley-Tillman was a redshirt sophomore from Peoria, Ill., who worked his way into the second group of offensive linemen, at tackle. He has remade his body and gotten into better shape over the past few years.

He played in the season opener at Utah, taking left tackle reps from starter Mason Cole on two plays on the first drive, but Cole returned just before the drive-ending interception.

He gained some notoriety after he committed to Michigan in February 2012. A four-star recruit, he posted a photo of himself on social media burning a recruiting letter from Ohio State.

Michigan has had two notable off-field incidents since Harbaugh took over last December: In March, when center Graham Glasgow violated his probation by failing a court-mandated random breathalyzer, and in May, when associate athletic director for football Jim Minick was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, a charge he pled guilty to. Both were suspended, then later reinstated.
