Ex-Wolverine Updates: Week 1

FORMER PLAYERS

WR Tarik Black (Texas): Black had 5 catches for 80 yards in a 59-3 win over UTEP. I’ve queued it up where you can watch him make a tough catch and run, breaking numerous tackles along the way before fumbling . . . and then his touchdown on a crossing route:

TE Mustapha Muhammad (Kilgore Junior College): Muhammad transferred from Michigan to Houston and is now at Kilgore Junior College, which has canceled its season due to COVID.

CB Myles Sims (Georgia Tech): Sims made 5 tackles and 2 pass breakups in a 16-13 win over Florida State.

Tavierre Dunlap, Wolverine

Del Valle (TX) Del Valle running back Tavierre Dunlap committed to Michigan on Saturday evening. He picked the Wolverines over offers from Mississippi State, Notre Dame, TCU, Texas Tech, UCLA, and USC, among others.

Dunlap is listed at 6’0″ and 195 lbs. As a junior in 2019, he ran 128 times for 1,341 yards and 20 touchdowns, adding 20 receptions for 208 yards and 3 scores. As a sophomore in 2018, he ran 186 times for 1,449 yards and 17 touchdowns. He claims an 11.23 in the 100 meters and a 4.63 laser-timed forty.

Tyler Martin, Wolverine

Acton (MA) Buckingham Browne and Nichols linebacker Tyler Martin, a class of 2022 prospect, committed to Michigan on Friday. He picked the Wolverines over offers from Arkansas, Nebraska, and UMass, among others.

Martin is listed at 6’3″ and 245 lbs.

Rivals: 4-star, 5.9 grade, #3 ILB, #106 overall

Hit the jump for more on Martin’s commitment.

Markus Allen, Ex-Wolverine

Clayton (OH) Northmont wide receiver Markus Allen decommitted from Michigan on Wednesday. He committed back in April (LINK).

I was not super high on Allen as a recruit, so my concern level here is pretty low. He’s a 247 Composite 3-star, the #68 wide receiver, and #455 overall. He is a teammate of safety Rod Moore, who is committed to Michigan, and I do wonder if Allen’s change of heart will affect Moore.

Michigan will probably jump back into receiver recruiting since it looked like they were finished. Before Michigan secured a commitment from in-stater Andrel Anthony (LINK), they were pretty hard after Georgia product Jayden Thomas.

Ex-Wolverine Commits: 2020 Pre-Season

Earlier this week, I posted about former Michigan players who have transferred (LINK).

Up next is the players who were at one time committed to the Wolverines.

FORMER COMMITS

RB Tim Baldwin (Indiana): Baldwin is listed as a 6’0″, 217 lb. freshman running back at Indiana.

WR Kalil Branham (Kentucky): Branham, listed at 6’1″ and 202 lbs., is expected to be a backup for the Wildcats this season.

WR George Campbell: Campbell spent last year at West Virginia and applied for a sixth year of eligibility, which was not approved by the NCAA. His career ended and it does not look like he has had an NFL opportunity.
