Surprising Michigan football player enters transfer portal

So much for all the hype.

There was no bigger hype in spring ball in Ann Arbor than that for one specific Michigan football player.

All of the talk all spring was about Wolverines wide receiver Amorion Walker, who was moving from offense to defense and would play cornerback. Lofty expectations were heaped upon him. Jim Harbaugh called Walker a unicorn, raving about his potential as a long, rangy, speedy corner. His coaches also sung his praises.

But Walker never became that next, great starter. He did not follow in nickel back Mike Sainristil’s footsteps.

And apparently Walker is looking for another opportunity; he has entered the transfer portal.

Walker is a loss on both sides of the ball. Michigan could use a tall, speedy receiver or a corner opposite Will Johnson. A Louisiana native’s departure means two of the three receivers Michigan brought in via the 2022 class are leaving. Darrius Clemons has also decided to enter the portal.
