The City Of Ann Arbor – Government issued the following announcement on Aug. 7.

From leading the Wolverines in rushing yardage to planting seeds of success for urban youth with nonprofit Team Gardens – take a look at Vincent Smith’s blossoming career transition.

Vincent Smith’s trademark as an undersized star University of Michigan running back from 2009-12 was plowing forward into defenses and dragging tacklers with him for extra yards.
