This used to be Cullen Christian. |
TE Chris Barnett: Barnett left Michigan shortly after arriving in 2011, and I have been unable to find any hard updates on him. He supposedly showed interest in playing for UMass this past winter, but he never enrolled there. He also talked about having interest in playing Division II as a middle linebacker.
CB Greg Brown: Brown had transferred to Findlay, but never played a game there in 2012. He has since left the football program and his whereabouts are unknown to me.
TE Pharaoh Brown: Brown is listed as a 6’6″, 241 lb. tight end on Oregon’s roster. He had 2 receptions for 42 yards in twelve games last season. Oregon has been talking about using more formations with two tight ends to get Brown on the field with Colt Lyerla.
CB Cullen Christian: After having 16 tackles and 2 pass breakups as a corner in 2012, Christian is now listed as a 6’0″, 195 lb. backup free safety for the Pitt Panthers. The starter? Former Michigan free safety Ray Vinopal.
CB Gareon Conley: Conley is listed as a 6’2″, 170 lb. cornerback on Ohio State’s roster. He has been practice some with the starting unit while Bradley Roby has been demoted to a backup for his off-the-field transgressions.
CB Dallas Crawford: Crawford is listed as a 5’10”, 196 lb. redshirt sophomore running back on Miami’s roster. Last year he had an interception on a fake punt; offensively, he had 6 carries for 23 yards and was 1/2 passing for 29 yards. He will likely be the backup running back to starter Duke Johnson.
S Vladimir Emilien: Emilien is listed as a 6’1″, 204 lb. safety for the Toledo Rockets. Last year he had 33 tackles and 1 interception for the Rockets. He will likely start this year at their strong safety/outside linebacker hybrid position.
OT Jake Fisher: Fisher is a 6’6″, 291 lb. offensive tackle for Oregon. Last year he was the starter at right tackle, and he even scored a touchdown when De’Anthony Thomas fumbled into the endzone, where Fisher jumped on it.
K Matt Goudis: Goudis is listed as a 6’0″, 172 lb. redshirt sophomore kicker for the Miami Hurricanes. Last year he had a 37-yard punt and two kickoffs that averaged 55.0 yards.
S Carvin Johnson: Johnson is listed as a 6’2″, 205 lb. safety for Hampton University. Last year he had 57 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, 10 pass breakups, and 3 fumble recoveries. He will likely start this fall.
LB Kellen Jones: Jones is listed as a 6’1″, 225 lb. linebacker for Clemson. After leaving Michigan before his freshman season even began, he transferred to Oklahoma for the 2011 season, then sat out the 2012 year after transferring to Clemson, and will now be a backup inside linebacker for the Tigers.
WR Ricardo Miller: Miller is listed as a 6’4″, 226 lb. tight end/wide receiver for UMass. With the starting tight end injured to begin the year, Miller will start at TE for the Minutemen.
DE Chris Rock: Rock is listed as a 6’4″, 272 lb. defensive lineman for Ohio State after enrolling there in August 2012. Listed as a redshirt sophomore, he is not expected to be a heavy contributor this fall.
QB Kevin Sousa: Sousa is listed as a 6’3″, 230 lb. redshirt sophomore quarterback for Wake Forest, but he not listed as one of the top three quarterbacks on the Demon Deacons’ depth chart.
OG Caleb Stacey: Stacey transferred to the College of Mount St. Joseph during winter semester and intended to play football this fall. Their roster has not been released, so it’s unclear if he’s still on the team.
CB Anthony Standifer: Standifer is listed as a 6’1″, 175 lb. cornerback on the Ole Miss roster. A blogger for the Rebels ranked him as the #57 most important player for the upcoming season. He had 3 tackles last year.
WR Je’Ron Stokes: Stokes is listed as a 6’0″, 200 lb. wideout for Norfolk State, an FCS program. He joins younger brother Malik, a quarterback. Stokes played the last couple seasons at Bowling Green State University.
S Ray Vinopal: Vinopal is a 5’10”, 200 lb. starting free safety for the Pitt Panthers. He had 14 tackles and 1.5 sacks as a redshirt sophomore in 2012.
CB Adrian Witty: Witty is listed as a 5’10”, 187 lb. cornerback for the Cincinnati Bearcats. He had 25 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, 4 pass breakups, and a forced fumble last year. It appears he’s the front-runner for the starting free safety job this fall.

Thanks for posting this; it's always a fun read.
I find it mind-blowing that there (by my count) *five* defensive backs playing somewhere else who were once enrolled at Michigan. (I'm not even counting guys like Crawford and Witty who, by the way, showed up in the Cinci-Purdue boxscore.)
