Rising second-year linebacker William Mohan has entered the transfer portal. Mohan made 1 tackle on special teams last season.
I gave Mohan a TTB Rating of 88 when he committed (LINK). He was a whirling dervish coming off the edge. At 6’1″ and 205 lbs., he still had some filling out to do but I thought he could be a terror. He was a 3-star, the #23 athlete, and #461 overall coming out of high school in 2020.
Recruited for the Viper position that is now obsolete with the departure of defensive coordinator Don Brown, obviously he did not see a fit with the new defensive staff. I expect Macdonald to use more of a safety-like presence as a nickel player rather than running out a quasi-linebacker on almost every down. As I’ve mentioned previously, it’s much easier to move safeties up into the box than to teach a linebacker to play safety.
Michigan now has 86 scholarship players on the roster (LINK), so at least one more player needs to depart before Michigan is under its limit for 2021.
Jayvant Brown – LB – Deerfield Beach (FL) Deerfield Beach: Brown is a 6’0″, 195 lb. prospect with offers from Auburn, Florida State, Miami, and Notre Dame, among others. He’s a 247 Sports 4-star, the #1 outside linebacker, and #13 overall in his class.
Makai Lemon – WR – Los Alamitos (CA) Los Alamitos: Lemon is a 6’0″, 180-pounder with offers from Alabama, Georgia, and USC, among others. He’s a 5-star, the #2 athlete, and #19 overall.
Rico Walker – DE – Hickory (NC) Hickory: Walker is a 6’3″, 225 lb. prospect with offers from North Carolina, Penn State, and South Carolina, among others. He’sa 247 Sports 4-star, the #4 weakside end, and #48 overall.
