One former Michigan player is headed home.
Earlier this season, prized four-star tight end Mustapha Muhammad announced that he would be making a change, and that he decided to transfer out of the program. And finally, months later, it looks like he’s made his decision as to where he’ll continue his playing career.
Hailing originally from Missouri City (TX) Ridge Point, in the suburbs of Houston, Muhammad was injured throughout his freshman season in Ann Arbor, and didn’t dress for the first time until Michigan’s turn in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl to end the 2018 season.
Finally healthy, Muhammad got to dress in 2019, having participated in the season opener against Middle Tennessee, but not again until Week Five’s contest against Rutgers. He didn’t register any stats and ultimately chose to transfer, entering the portal before the Penn State game — ironic, given he committed on the eve of the 2017 game against the Nittany Lions.
On Sunday, Muhammad announced he’s transferring back to his hometown, to play for Dana Holgorsen’s Houston program.

Muhammad has at least three years of eligibility remaining, and possibly a fourth, depending on if he applies for and is approved for a medical redshirt, given 2019 is also a redshirt year. It’s also not known whether or not he’ll be eligible immediately.
