And for the second time, former Michigan wide receiver Roy Roundtree has left Michigan.
The standout pass catcher known for his huge, game-winning catch against Notre Dame in 2011 got a brief opportunity in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2013, but eventually worked on a path towards coaching. He got his start at CSU – Pueblo as a WR coach, then the same at Limestone College, then Indiana State. But he left the Sycamores to return to Ann Arbor, becoming a grad assistant under Jim Harbaugh.
However, on Thursday, Grand Valley State University announced that it has hired Roundtree away from Michigan to become the Division II program’s new wide receivers coach.

Roundtree was back at Michigan for two years, and while it’s rarely said that grad assistants are particularly huge losses, given how much he contributed to recruiting and how often he was mentioned (at least to us here at WolverinesWire) by prospective targets, his ability on the trail will surely be missed by the maize and blue faithful.
