Playing career

Coming out of high school, Newsome was rated as a four-star recruit where he decided to commit to play college football for the Michigan Wolverines over Penn State.[1] [2] Newsome made his debut on October 31, 2015, against Minnesota.[3] Newsome played two seasons with Michigan in 2015 and 2016 but during the 2016 season versus Wisconsin, Newsome suffered a career-ending injury where he dislocated his right knee, fractured his tibia, tore three ligaments, damaged three nerves and destroyed his popliteal artery, causing him to never play again and medically retire in 2018.[4] [5] Before the injury, Newsome started the Wolverines first five games of the 2016 season.[6]

Coaching career

During the 2018 and 2019 seasons, Newsome served as a student assistant for Michigan.[7] [8] In 2020, Newsome transitioned to a graduate assistant role.[9] In 2022, head coach Jim Harbaugh promoted Newsome to coaching the Wolverines tight ends. In 2023 Newsome helped lead the Wolverines to a national championship.[10] In 2024, new head coach Sherrone Moore promoted Newsome again, this time to coach the Michigan offensive line.[11] [12]
