CBS DETROIT - Senior wide receiver and return man Dennis Norfleet has been dismissed from the Michigan football team, according to MLive.

A spokesperson for the university declined to explicitly confirm the report but stated in an email, "This is an internal matter."

Norfleet's high school coach told MLive he did not know the exact reason for Norfleet's release but said it stemmed from some sort of disagreement with new head coach Jim Harbaugh.

Last season, Norfleet played in 11 games for the Wolverines. He caught 15 passes for 111 yards and returned 19 kickoffs for 438 yards.
