ANN ARBOR -- The University of Michigan football program still is not offering any official information regarding the status of senior receiver/kick returner Dennis Norfleet.

On Tuesday, Norfleet's former high school coach -- King High School's Dale Harvel -- told MLive that Norfleet had been dismissed from the program. On Wednesday, Scout.com's Sam Webb reported that Norfleet's technical status at this point is "suspended."

Reached again Wednesday morning, an official Michigan spokesman said he could not offer any additional information as to whether or not Norfleet is still a member of the football team beyond Tuesday's "this is an internal matter" comment.

When asked if Norfleet is still a member of the football team, the spokesman declined to comment.

Harvel did not respond to a request for further comment Wednesday morning.

On Tuesday, though, he explained how Norfleet had informed the staff at King that he had been dismissed from the program by coach Jim Harbaugh.

"Evidently he was dismissed from the team, Dennis informed us he was no longer on the team," Havel said Tuesday. "Something about a disciplinary thing between him and coach Harbaugh. Whether it was academics or something internal, I'm not sure. He just said they had a disagreement and he was let go.

"His main concern right now, he's been up there going on four years, is getting his degree -- whether it be from Michigan or any other institution. He was disappointed. But if you've been following him, he's basically done nothing but return kicks there. He understood what his role was there at Michigan. And once coach Harbaugh became the coach, I didn't see his role expanding any more than it was."

The 5-foot-7, 168-pound Norfleet would be a senior on Michigan's team this season. He'll leave as the program's all-time leader in kick returns (90) and kick return yards (2,203).

Norfleet became Michigan's primary kick returner immediately after enrolling as a freshman in 2012, and spent most of last season as the team's primary punt returner as well.

He entered the program as a running back out of King High School, and after a short stint at corner during Outback Bowl practices in 2012, former coach Brady Hoke moved him to wide receiver in 2013. Norfleet made 21 receptions for 157 yards over the past three seasons at Michigan.

This spring, Harbaugh worked Norfleet on offense and defense (at corner) in the spring game, and also continued to rep him at kick returner.
