WEST BLOOMFIELD, MI -- Police believe a 48-year-old man was accidentally pulled into a wood chipper Monday morning by his jacket while feeding the chipper. According to Fox 2 Detroit, police were called around 9 a.m. by one of the man’s co-workers who found him inside the wood chipper. Two investigations have been launched surrounding the incident, one by police and another by the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Before Ron Bellamy was hired in January as an assistant coach on Jim Harbaugh’s staff, he established West Bloomfield as a high school football powerhouse in Michigan. While Michigan is his first coaching position at the college level, Bellamy, a former Wolverines receiver from 1999-2002, believes he can bring a valuable component to the program’s recruiting efforts. “That’s one of the benefits of just taking the high school coach and bringing them along.

After announcing a top 10 of Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Penn State, Nebraska, Georgia, Baylor and USC back on Jan. 1 this year, Tatum said he is deciding between the Wolverines and Spartans.

Learning from former players such as Tre Mosley (Michigan State), Cornell Wheeler (Michigan, Kansas), Makari Paige (Michigan) and Edwards, Tatum hopes to prove his abilities to lead as well.
