When Eamonn Dennis committed, the idea was he would be an inverse copy of Mike Sainristil.
Both players hailed from Massachusetts. Both were three-stars who played both ways. Sainristil started as a wide receiver while Dennis was a defensive back. Then, Sainristil switched to defensive back and Dennis switched to receiver. The latter had unparalleled speed but never cracked the two-deep or became a crucial player on special teams.
As Sainristil moved on to the NFL, Dennis chose a change of scenery, albeit through the transfer portal. And on Tuesday, he announced he had committed to the Ohio Bobcats.

With Dennis gone, Michigan football still has numerous options at wideout. Semaj Morgan, Tyler Morris and Fredrick Moore are expected to start while Amorion Walker, C.J. Charleston, I’Marion Stewart, Peyton O’Leary and Channing Goodwin figure to be a part of the rotation.
Dennis is one of several wide receivers to depart Michigan this offseason. Roman Wilson and Cornelius Johnson entered the NFL draft. Darrius Clemons transferred to Oregon State. The aforementioned Amorion Walker transferred to Ole Miss and back again. Jake Thaw transferred to Delaware, and Karmello English has yet to announce a transfer destination.
