Well, that didn’t last long.
Just over a year ago, 2020 Williamstown (NJ) four-star defensive end Aaron Lewis was the second player to commit as part of a week-long recruiting extravaganza that saw the Wolverines reel in over ten commitments. Having flipped from West Virginia, Lewis was a big time get, with offers from Ohio State, Tennessee, Penn State, Nebraska, Miami (FL), Texas A&M and Wisconsin.
Rated the No. 10 strong-side defensive end in the country according to 247Sports’ proprietary rankings, Lewis enrolled early, reporting to campus in January of this year.
However, reports surfaced on Wednesday that Lewis’ tenure in Ann Arbor was already coming to an end, as he apparently entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal.
Michigan incoming freshman defensive end Aaron Lewis, a 2020 recruit, has entered the NCAA transfer portal, the @freep has learned.

Lewis was recruited by the two Michigan coaches that departed this offseason, as primary recruiter Anthony Campanile left for the NFL and the Miami Dolphins while Chris Partridge became the new co-defensive coordinator at Ole Miss.
He’ll have a full four years of eligibility at his new school of choice.
