ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The University of Michigan's defensive line coach resigned Thursday, following a drunk driving arrest in Ann Arbor earlier this month.
Greg Scruggs was suspended by Michigan the day after his arrest and less than a week later, he has handed his resignation.
Wolverine football head coach Sherrone Moore shared the news in a statement Thursday: "I just received notice that Greg Scruggs has resigned his position, effective immediately. I am unable to comment further as this is a University matter."
The 33-year-old Scruggs was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated at 3 a.m. Saturday, March 16, according to Ann Arbor police.
Scruggs, a former NFL defensive end, coached Wisconsin's defensive line last season. He was a New York Jets assistant defensive line coach in 2022 following two seasons as an assistant with the Cincinnati Bearcats.
He was a defensive lineman at Louisville from 2008 to 2011, playing for the program for three years while Moore was starting his coaching career as a graduate assistant.
Scruggs, who is from Cincinnati, was drafted by Seattle in the seventh round in 2012 and played in 18 games over four seasons with the Seahawks and Chicago Bears.
