Michigan football walk-on closing in on school record

ANN ARBOR — Ideally, Joe Taylor would never do the thing he loves most on a football field. The Michigan fifth-year senior is closing in on a school record that illustrates his sacrifice, selflessness and skill. During Saturday’s game against Northwestern, Taylor will almost certainly become Michigan’s all-time leader in special teams snaps.

He starts on four different units, but his favorite means Michigan’s offense failed and has sent out the punt team.
