Michigan football’s loaded running backs room got a little less loaded on Saturday.
With the 2020 season now over for the Wolverines, it’s the time when players start reevaluating their options. For one player who initially opted out of the season, it looks as if he’s put on a winged helmet for the last time.
Christian Turner was a three-star tailback out of Georgia. Big things were expected of him, especially nearing the end of his freshman campaign, when he was the first off the bench in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl against Florida. However, an injury in 2019 precluded much production, and he initially chose to sit out in 2020, before ultimately deciding to come back into the fold. However, he never saw the field in the six-game season.
Now, he announced on Twitter, he’ll look at different options, as he’s entering the NCAA transfer portal.

Michigan already has a strong three-headed monster heading into 2021 in Hassan Haskins, Zach Charbonnet and Blake Corum. However, it got even deeper with the signings of elite RB Donovan Edwards — the highest-rated back Michigan has signed in the recruiting rankings era — and Del Valle (TX) back Tavierre Dunlap.
