While it’s something of a homecoming, former Farmington (MI) and Waterford (MI) Mott alum Daylen Baldwin didn’t have his eyes set on Michigan when he entered the NCAA transfer portal. In fact, one of Michigan’s chief rivals was his childhood favorite — yet he spurned them to wear maize and blue.
When he made the decision to transfer, Baldwin admits he didn’t set his sights high enough initially, but when the big schools came calling, he realized that much more about his potential, at least at the college football level.
That’s not to say, however, that he doesn’t know what he brings to the table. He’s not shy about wanting to showcase his talents to the world at large. He knows he has skills beyond what many receivers already have.
WolverinesWire spoke with Baldwin about his commitment to Michigan, what it was like going through the transfer portal process, becoming a breakout player this past year, playing under Deion Sanders and what he’s most excited about when it comes to wearing maize and blue.
Here is everything he told us.
