Despite all the commotion in Ann Arbor, players are mostly excited and the Michigan football team is expected to be close to full strength when it takes on Texas State in the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on Dec. 31. However, it now appears that the Wolverines will be without at least one starter.
Michigan edge rusher Derrick Moore was one of the few players who didn’t really have a decision made as he was out of eligibility and was a solid NFL player. The only decision he has to make is whether to play the Longhorns at the end of the month. Not surprisingly, Moore officially declared for the NFL draft on Saturday.
Moore was the first to opt out and go public. With his departure, it is expected that TJ Guy and possibly Cameron Brandt, Dom Nichols and other EDGE members will take his place.

It’s unclear if his outside linebacker, Jashawn Barham, will play or if he will opt out of the draft.
