Michigan football has as loaded as a running backs room as any program in the country. But, it officially got a little thinner on Monday.
originally, Georgia native Christian Turner had opted out of the 2020 season, just hours before the Big Ten had canceled the upcoming slate. However, not long after the conference reinstated the season, Turner opted back in. But, he never got to see time on the field.
He announced, after the culmination of the season, that he would be moving on to seek a role elsewhere, having entered the NCAA transfer portal. Now we know where he is headed, as he announced via Twitter that he is committing to Wake Forest.

Turner never became the household name that he was expected to be after arriving in Ann Arbor. Spoken of highly heading into the 2018 bowl season, he showed some of his speed against Florida, but the rest of his career at Michigan was marred by injury.
Michigan still has a loaded running backs room, highlighted by Zack Charbonnet, Hassan Haskins, Blake Corum, as well as incoming freshmen Donovan Edwards.
