Michigan running backs coach Mike Hart is recovering in Ann Arbor following a scary sideline moment Saturday in Bloomington, Ind.
Hart suffered what was reported as a seizure during the first quarter of the No. 5 Wolverines’ 31-10 victory against Indiana. He was placed on a stretcher and carted off the field before being hospitalized overnight.
Hart, 36, released a statement Monday to update his condition and thank the trainers, paramedics, doctors, nurses and coaches and staff from both teams for their assistance.
“Health-wise, I am back in Ann Arbor and things are trending in a positive direction,” Hart wrote. “I look forward to rejoining our team soon.”

Hart previously worked as the running backs coach for Indiana from 2017-20 prior to joining the staff at his alma mater.
Hart set the Wolverines’ career record with 5,040 rushing yards from 2004-07. He was a sixth-round draft pick by Indianapolis in 2008 and appeared in 21 games with the Colts from 2008-10.
