Michigan Football Secures Portal Commitment From Two-Year SEC Starter on Friday…
On Friday, Michigan football bolstered its secondary by securing a commitment from Wesley Walker, a seasoned safety with two years of starting experience in the SEC. Walker, who previously played at Tennessee and Georgia Tech, brings a wealth of experience to the Wolverines, having logged over 2,000 career snaps. In the 2023 season, he recorded 33 tackles, including 3.5 for loss, one sack, two pass breakups, and a forced fumble .
Walker had initially committed to Louisville earlier in the offseason but reentered the transfer portal in the spring. His decision to join Michigan comes at a crucial time, as the Wolverines seek to reinforce their defensive backfield following injuries and departures. Notably, safety Rod Moore suffered an ACL injury, and Keon Sabb transferred to Alabama, creating a void in the secondary .
Walker’s addition is part of Michigan’s broader strategy to enhance its defense through the transfer portal. Earlier in the week, the Wolverines also secured commitments from Arkansas defensive backs TJ and Tevis Metcalf, further strengthening their defensive lineup . With Walker’s experience and versatility, Michigan aims to maintain its defensive prowess in the upcoming season.
