For the past four months, Michigan has been the center of football attention, witnessing the Wolverines clinch the National Championship and the Detroit Lions, Michigan’s NFL team, advance to the NFC title game. The state was further celebrated on Friday, coinciding with the College Football Playoff and ESPN agreeing on a six-year extension. During the NFL Draft’s second and third rounds in Detroit, the 2023 Michigan Wolverines were honored for their perfect 15-0 season and championship victory before the event commenced. While current players proudly displayed the National Championship trophy, speculation arose about a former Wolverine possibly returning.
Amorion Walker, a former cornerback for Michigan who transferred to Ole Miss earlier this offseason, is rumored to be re-entering the transfer portal. Pete Nakos of On3.com suggests that Michigan is the team to keep an eye on regarding Walker’s potential return. Despite Walker’s departure from Michigan, his decision to possibly come back is surprising. However, recent developments such as DJ Waller, another cornerback, entering the transfer portal earlier in the week, may have influenced Walker’s reconsideration. Waller, who was in contention for a starting position, leaving might have opened up an opportunity for Walker to reclaim his place at the school where he initially began his collegiate career.
