Antonio Marcel Bass (born August 4, 1987) is a former American football wide receiver who played for the Michigan Wolverines.
[1] In 2006, Bass sustained a serious knee injury prior to spring practice.
Bass suffered nerve damage which, prior to physical therapy, had completely immobilized his foot.
Although Bass had worked for several years to rehabilitate his injury, in February 2008, Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez announced that Bass's medical situation would prevent him from returning to the team.
[2] Former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr said of Bass's injury "The impact his loss had on our program can't be measured because he could do so many things...Medically, what we're all hoping is that he can lead a normal life, go play pickup basketball.
