Spring Transfer Window Sees Michigan Players Find New Opportunities
As the spring transfer window unfolds, the college football landscape remains dynamic. This year, nearly 1,500 players entered the NCAA transfer portal, including seven scholarship athletes from the University of Michigan, all of whom have secured new placements.
In alphabetical order, here’s a look at the Wolverine athletes who have transitioned to new programs:
-
Kechaun Bennett (EDGE) has moved from Michigan to UCLA after primarily serving as a reserve and special teams player. With one year left of eligibility, Bennett aims to carve out a more significant role on the West Coast.
-
Benjamin Hall (RB) transfers to North Carolina. Once the Wolverines’ key backup running back, Hall faced tougher competition with new additions to the roster and sought a fresh start under the coaching of Bill Belichick with three years available to play.
-
Jason Hewlett (LB) has chosen to join Boston College after redshirting his freshman year and limited playing time. With three years of eligibility left, Hewlett hopes to make a larger impact.
-
Aymeric Koumba (DL), who played minimally during his time in Ann Arbor, will play for UCF. The French native is still considered a work in progress and has three years to develop.
-
Alessandro Lorenzetti (DL) is heading to Baylor, leaving after three seasons without game action. His eligibility now stands at two additional years.
-
Ja’Den McBurrows (DB) transfers to Appalachian State. The fifth-year senior cited a lack of playing time as his reason for leaving after only being a reserved player.
- Amorion Walker (WR) is now headed to Middle Tennessee. After a short stint at Ole Miss and back at Michigan, Walker looks for a fresh start with two seasons left.
These transfers reflect a common trend in college athletics, as players seek increased playing opportunities and new environments. With the 2025 season approaching, these athletes hope to make the most of their new beginnings.
