Michigan’s Nate Johnson was arrested for domestic assault prior to suspension

Yep, that’ll do it.

Michigan announced over its bye weekend that Nate Johnson had been indefinitely suspended from all team activities. At the time, the only reason given was the standard unspecified violations of team rules.

With the dawn of a new week, we learned a little more of the rest of the story as a UM police spokesperson confirmed to mlive.com that the cornerback was arrested very early Saturday morning on one count of domestic assault. Other than he allegedly attacked a female at an on-campus dorm room, no details of what led to the arrest or charge have been released.

A football spokesperson declined to discuss the situation involving the player, pointing back to Saturday’s statement instead.

A three-star 2016 signee, Johnson played in three games as a wide receiver, catching one pass for four yards, for the Wolverines as a true freshman. This offseason, Johnson moved from receiver to cornerback.
