Report: Nico Collins no longer on Michigan's roster
With Michigan's season opener at Minnesota less than one week away, wide receiver Nico Collins is no longer on the Wolverines' roster, according to Bruce Feldman of The Athletic.
Nico Collins is not on the #Michigan roster. Am told that he signed with an agent when it didn't look like there would be a fall season, and that he never came back to the team and has been away training for the draft.

Collins has yet to comment on his status, but it appears Michigan will move forward without its top offensive player.
The wideout declared he would return for a senior season instead of entering the draft in January but altered his plans after the Big Ten initially canceled its fall campaign due to COVID-19 concerns.
Collins totaled 78 catches for 1,388 yards and 13 touchdowns over his three-year Michigan career. He had 37 catches for 729 yards and seven scores last season.
Ronnie Bell, Giles Jackson, Mike Sainristil, and Cornelius Johnson will lead the Wolverines' receiver group.
