One Michigan Wolverines player has seen more than enough to know that it is time for him to continue his college career elsewhere.
In a surprising turn of events, Michigan Wolverines’ cornerback DJ Waller Jr. will be searching for a new home in the transfer portal, On3’s Pete Nakos has confirmed.
Head coach Sherrone Moore and Michigan just wrapped up spring football over the weekend.
Anthony Broome of TheWolverine.com says Waller was expected to compete for the No. 2 defensive back position this fall, but now he is taking his talents elsewhere.
Waller, an Ohio native with skill, had impressed during his first year at Michigan. His agility, instincts, and tenacity on the field made him a strong candidate to get much playing time in the forthcoming campaign.
The defensive back, who joined Michigan last year as a three-star recruit from Youngstown, Ohio, played 11 games for the national champions during his first year. He recorded 12 tackles and one pass breakup.
