Michigan running back Isaiah Gash was entering his fourth season as a Wolverine. Gash started his Michigan career as a walk-on player who worked his tail off to earn valuable playing time.
His hard work paid off because, in January, coach Jim Harbaugh announced Gash had earned a scholarship entering his senior year on the team.
But on Monday, Gash posted on TikTok that he was getting career-ending knee surgery.
Gash will be forever remembered by Michigan fans for his play against Illinois to keep the Wolverines’ undefeated season alive. Michigan was facing a fourth down on the Illini 45-yard line and the Wolverines threw a pass to Gash for a first down to keep the Michigan season alive. Jake Moody ended up kicking a game-winning field goal for the Wolverines to beat Illinois.
Thank you, Isaiah Gash ❤️

During his freshman year, Gash didn’t receive any game action. During his sophomore campaign, Gash received six carries for 17 yards. And last year, his junior season, he played in nine games. He received 19 carries for 101 yards and two scores. Plus, Gash caught three passes for 24 yards.
Gash finishes his Michigan career as a two-time letterman, and he was an Academic All-Big Ten honoree in 2021. We wish Gash nothing but the best and a fast healing.
