Michigan lineman announces transfer destination

Best of luck to him!

After being a find in New England, a now-former Michigan football lineman is heading home.

The Wolverines have notoriously scoured the under-scouted region of the country, and in 2019, it brought in Connecticut native Jack Stewart, who got his start with the program on the offensive line. When that didn’t matriculate, he moved to the defensive side of the ball, but still failed to see any snaps on other side, nor on special teams.

After the season and spring ball came to an end, Stewart announced he was entering the NCAA transfer portal, and on Monday, he announced he will be returning to Connecticut to play for UConn.

Despite being in the program for three years, Stewart will have three years of eligibility remaining, considering he redshirted his first year and 2020 was a free year due to COVID.

Michigan football lineman to enter NCAA transfer portal

Best of luck to him!

Unfortunately, attrition is a part of college football — especially when you aren’t a part of the rotation. But those players who get to practice against high-level Power Five competition every week certainly are the better for it.

One name we hadn’t heard much about in his time in Ann Arbor is Jack Stewart, who joined the Wolverines as part of a vaunted 2019 offensive line class. Hailing from New Canaan (Conn.), Stewart didn’t crack the lineup like some of his compatriots — Karsen Barnhart, Trevor Keegan, and Trente Jones — did. Stewart was moved to the defensive line, but he didn’t see action there, either. According to PFF Premium Stats, Stewart never logged a single snap for Michigan football.

On Tuesday, he tweeted what appears to be a departure letter, noting that he had a great time in Ann Arbor, but that he will be moving on.

With the COVID year and a redshirt year also under his belt, Stewart still has three full years of eligibility remaining, despite having been with the program for three years to this point.
