According to The Michigan Insider’s Brice Marich, the Wolverines program got a little bit bigger this offseason.

With the NCAA transfer portal being a hot commodity since its invocation last year, one of the most prevalent questions was: who would Michigan target?

One obvious choice, once he hit the transfer portal, was Michigan State linebacker Edward Warinner, the son of Michigan offensive line coach Ed Warinner. The younger Warinner committed to the Spartans 2018 class before the elder initially signed on to be an offensive analyst in Ann Arbor back in December 2017.

And now, Edward is joining father Ed at Michigan as a grad transfer.

In 2019, as a redshirt freshman, Warinner played in 7 games and had 3 tackles.

Barring a waiver, Warinner will have to sit a year. He already has a redshirt year, but will have two years of eligibility once he is able to hit the field.

As a recruit, according to the 247Sports Composite, he was a three-star, rated 1252 overall, and the 51st inside linebacker.
