The paint isn’t even dry yet on the 2019 football season, but one Michigan football offensive lineman has suited up in maize and blue for the last time.

Former Baltimore (MD) Gilman offensive guard/center Stephen Spanellis was a multi-year winner of the team’s academic MVP award at the end of the season, and was a player who ascended beyond his three-star status as a recruit, but rarely got time with the starting unit.

Playing mostly on special teams, Spanellis was waiting his turn, but now it looks as if he’s not going to wait and see if it will come next year, as he announced on Instagram his intentions to transfer from the program.

Spanellis started the 2019 season with injury, and finally got back into the lineup in Week Four against Wisconsin.

A redshirt junior, Spanellis will leave Michigan with his degree in-hand, and will be immediately eligible at his institution of choice.
