Freshman linebacker Osman Savage has entered the transfer portal, presumably ending his Michigan career before it ever got started. A product of Baltimore (MD) St. Frances, he was a 247 Composite 4-star, the #18 outside linebacker, and #300 overall.
Savage was one of three signees from St. Frances, joining running back Blake Corum and fellow linebacker Nikhai Hill-Green. Both of his high school teammates have been generating some buzz here in the early going, but I had not heard much about Savage, for whatever reason. He did enter college heavier than I expected – reportedly in the 240+ range – so I’m not sure if that has factored into his place on the depth chart or other experiences so far.
Savage is the second 2020 signee to depart from Michigan already, joining Aaron Lewis, who landed at Rutgers.

Dedham (MA) Noble & Greenough linebacker Casey Phinney decommitted from Michigan on Saturday, announcing a commitment to Boston College instead.
Phinney committed to Michigan in April, and you could probably tell that I was not high on him as a prospect (LINK). So this decommitment does not disappoint me too much. I would prefer to still have Phinney committed if Michigan had been able to land offensive guard teammate Drew Kendall, but that ship seems to have sailed. Phinney by himself? That wasn’t that interesting to me. He is currently a 3-star, the #50 inside linebacker, and #1189 overall.
Interestingly, Phinney is also good friends with 2022 linebacker Tyler Martin (see the above picture), who committed to Michigan recently (LINK).
Michigan has now suffered two decommitments in the 2021 class, Phinney and Clayton (OH) Northmont wide receiver Markus Allen. There remain three linebackers committed to the Wolverines: Junior Colson, Jaydon Hood, and Tyler McLaurin.
