An overseas talent took a chance moving to Ann Arbor, but it hasn’t worked quite as well as he had hoped.
Hailing from Germany, Julius Welschof is also a big-time skier. He earned four-star status after emerging on the camp circuit in 2017, and after being committed to Georgia Tech, Welschof flipped to Michigan in December of that year.
He started off at defensive end before bulking up to be a defensive tackle in 2020. However, it appeared he was without position, moving between tackle and edge rusher.
And on Tuesday, he entered the NCAA transfer portal after being on campus since 2018.
Michigan DE Julius Welschof has entered the transfer portal, @MLive has learned.

Welschof, who was a roommate with former standout Aidan Hutchinson, redshirted in 2018 and has the free year of 2020.
