Walker transferred to Ole Miss in January despite his team winning the National Championship but now, he’s back and he’s possibly here to stay. He is highly expected to join WR coach Ron Bellamy after the Wolverines got another WR, C.J. Charleston from Youngstown State. The 6’3, 180-pounder is a speedy player in the Big Ten and his familiarity with the Wolverines adds value to Michigan’s depth chart.
Players going in and out of Ann Arbor
After losing a huge number of players in the portal and the 2024 NFL draft, the Wolverines already needed to add more depth to their WR room. And two WRs Cristian Dixon and Karmello English entering the portal only added more to the urgency. But they’ve found their replacements in WRs Amorion Walker and C.J. Charleston.
In terms of other players leaving and entering the portal, Michigan lost three linebackers – Semaj Bridgeman, Hayden Moore, Jeremiah Beasley, CB D.J. Waller, and IOL Amir Herring. As for players joining the program, the Wolverines welcomed Kent State DT C.J. West and kicker Dominic Zvada, who finished 85 percent of his kicks at Arkansas State. For now, the Wolverines look prepped under Sherrone Moore who’s officially kicked off his new role as the HC.
