Michigan defensive lineman Rashan Gary won't participate in the Peach Bowl in advance of his entry into the 2019 NFL Draft, head coach Jim Harbaugh told The Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen.

Gary, one of the top draft-eligible prospects, previously announced his intention to forgo his senior season and head to the NFL at the end of his junior year.

The former No. 1 overall recruit tallied 3.5 sacks in nine contests this season while often attracting double-teams off the edge.

The Wolverines will take on Florida in the Peach Bowl on Dec. 29.
