Michigan Signee Matt Ludwig Granted Release From Letter of Intent

His decision follows Michigan’s for-cause dismissal of head coach Sherrone Moore.

Overview

  • Ludwig said he requested a release from his National Letter of Intent and that Michigan approved it, and he is reopening his recruitment.
  • Michigan stated Moore was fired for an "inappropriate relationship with a staff member," and multiple reports say he was later arrested as a suspect in an alleged assault.
  • The Billings West tight end signed with Michigan on Dec. 3 and had planned to enroll early in January.
  • The 6-foot-4, 240-pound prospect is a four-star recruit ranked No. 9 nationally at tight end by Rivals.
  • Rivals and On3 first reported Ludwig’s release, which MTN Sports/KTVQ confirmed, and his high school coach said the family was devastated and shocked by the news.
