Players crossing state and rivalry lines doesn’t happen often, but it does happen.
As far as crossing rivalry lines is concerned, that happened to Michigan this offseason. Former linebacker Ben VanSumeren transferred to Michigan State, which garnered plenty of reactions.
Over a decade ago, former Wolverines offensive lineman Justin Boren defected for rival Ohio State after Lloyd Carr retired, setting up a line of Borens who donned scarlet and grey — even though their father was a former Wolverine himself.
But, could it go the other way? Could a Buckeye become a Wolverine?
It’s possible, notes 247Sports’ Allen Trieu. OSU wide receiver Jameson Williams is considering Michigan among his many transfer destinations.
Former Ohio State wide recevier Jameson Williams is a popular transfer portal pursuit for a lot of schools right now.
But Williams reports to 247Sports that after a hectic time of constant contact from coaches, he has narrowed his focus to Alabama, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Florida, Michigan State, USC and Michigan.
Of course, that’s a lot of schools, so if the Wolverines want him, it’ll be something of a battle, considering the prowess of Alabama, Texas A&M, Florida and USC. MSU also has a solid track record under Mel Tucker of bringing in high-end transfers.
But if Williams ended up in Ann Arbor, it would be a huge boost for a program that lost Giles Jackson to Washington this offseason.
At this juncture, who knows whether Williams could see himself wearing maize and blue, but it’s interesting, nonetheless, that the Wolverines are a contender for his services.
