It appears that Graham Glasgow may be rather expeditiously climbing out of Jim Harbaugh‘s doghouse.
In July of 2014, Glasgow was sentenced in connection to a drunk-driving charge from March. As part of that sentence, he was placed on 12 months probation, with one of the stipulations being that he couldn’t consume alcohol. Earlier this month, however, the offensive lineman violated said probation by blowing a .086 on a Breathalyzer test, which triggered a suspension from the football program that was announced March 16.
Less than two weeks later, it looks as if Glasgow is back to practicing with his teammates. Or, at the very least, dressing for practice.
From the Twitter account of UM director of player development Gwendolyn Bush (aka the mother of Stanford transfer Wayne Lyons):
In the background is a No. 61. Glasgow wears No. 61, and is the only player with that number listed on the Wolverines’ online roster. So, unless another player borrowed the jersey, Glasgow is back on the practice field.
What this means is unclear as mlive.com writes that "[a] Michigan official has not responded to a request for comment, and it is not known if Glasgow’s suspension is officially over or not.” In the immediate aftermath of Glasgow’s OVI arrest last March, he was suspended indefinitely by then-head coach Brady Hoke before being allowed to return to practice a week later. He was, though, suspended for the 2014 opener.
According to the Detroit Free Press, and because of his recent probation violation, Glasgow “will have six more months of probation past his original July 2015 end date, will have to take breathalyzer tests twice a day now, once in the morning (6-9 a.m.) and once at night (9 p.m.-12 a.m.) at the Ann Arbor Police Department and will have to serve five days on a Washtenaw County Jail Work Program by April 30.”
Provided he can get past his legal issues and avoid any further hiccups, Glasgow would serve as a talented and experienced piece of UM’s line as he started all 11 games in which he played last year. In 2013, Glasgow started 13 games — nine at center, four at guard.
