It’s not how things were supposed to go for the borderline five-star in Ann Arbor, but with successive season-ending surgeries, Luiji Vilain’s football career has taken something of a circuitous path.
The Canada native played high school ball at Alexandria (VA) Episcopal before coming to Michigan. But then his first two consecutive years were sidetracked by having knee surgery to correct high school injuries. He finally got to play in 2019 and 2020, but never quite made it back to the prominent level of play that made him the No. 36 player in the country.
He announced after the season that he’d seek a transfer, and he appears to be headed to the ACC, committing to Wake Forest on Tuesday.

Vilain is the second Wolverine to commit to Wake Forest this offseason, with running back Christian Turner also transferring to the Demon Deacons.
