Former Michigan running back Karan Higdon is headed to Houston to prove that he deserves a spot on an NFL roster.

Higdon went undrafted over the weekend but inked a free agent deal with the Houston Texans. He heads to the Lone Star State after leading Michigan in rushing each of the last two seasons.

Higdon rushed for 1,178 yards and 10 touchdowns in 11 games last fall. He hit the 100-yard mark in eight games in 2018 and missed just two contests — one due to injury and he decided to skip the Peach Bowl to focus on the NFL Draft.

In 2017, Higdon also led the Wolverines’ rushing attack with 994 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Higdon left Ann Arbor with 2,616 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns. Now, he’ll try to work his way onto an NFL roster.
