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): Georgia Tech (1-2) had a bye week.

Hit the jump for more.

DT Aubrey Solomon (Tennessee): Solomon made 1 tackle in a 35-12 win over Missouri.

OG Stephen Spanellis (Vanderbilt): Spanellis opted out of the 2020 season.

RB Kareem Walker (Mississippi State): Walker did not play in a 21-14 loss to Arkansas.

WR Kalil Branham (Kentucky): Branham did not play in a 42-41 loss to Ole Miss.

CB Te’Cory Couch (Miami): Miami (3-0) had a bye.

CB Shaun Crawford (Notre Dame): Notre Dame (2-0) had a bye.

OG Emil Ekiyor (Alabama): Ekiyor started at left guard in a 52-24 win over Texas A&M.

TE Nick Patterson (Choate Rosemary Hall): Patterson, who decommitted from Michigan and signed with Princeton, decided to take a prep year and enroll at Choate Rosemary Hall in Connecticut. That would make him a teammate of class of 2021 Michigan commit Tristan Bounds, though with Connecticut football being canceled, I’m not sure if Patterson is truly there or not.

Amauri Pesek-Hickson (Kansas): Pesek-Hickson did not play in a 47-7 loss to Oklahoma State.

They let Kentucky QB Terry Wilson complete 77% of his passes, and three Wildcats players ran for 100+ yards on the way to 408 total rushing yards.

Chris Partridge (C-Defensive Coordinator, Ole Miss): Partridge’s defense, coincidentally, suffered the same exact fate as Durkin’s (see above).

    Sounds like Woods has emerged as a key contributor. Good for him.

    Black seems to be slipping down the depth chart. They eyes of Texas (and obsessive Michigan fans) are upon him.

    Am I the only one who looks at say Solomon (who left unhappily) very differently than grad transfers like Spanellis and Woods looking for more playing time? We need a different classification for the Michigan Men (Hail!) who went on to other things vs the guys who leave because they’re mad (Bail!). Though I do recognize there will be more cases like McCaffrey and Peters and Black that fall in the hail/bail gray area with expanded eligibility freedoms.

    Les Miles struggling away from LSU is completely expected to many. Still can’t believe people the number of people who wanted him in Ann Arbor.

    Sounds like Muhammed and Spanellis “updates” aren’t going to be interesting.

    I remember Gray as the guy I preferred to Charbonnet, due to size. But Charbonnet won me over after a strong freshman year. Seems like it might be a case where everyone won.
