Former Michigan football LB Taylor Upshaw commits to Deion Sanders, Colorado

Taylor Upshaw didn't have to go to Ohio State or the SEC to find a bigger name to play for than Jim Harbaugh's Michigan football program.

Upshaw, a Wolverines defensive lineman the past four seasons, announced Saturday he's transferring to play for Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes. He had 36 tackles, 10½ tackles for a loss, five sacks and one interception over 37 career games.

After recording two sacks in 11 games in the 2021-22 season, the Florida native was expected to play a bigger role following the departures of David Ojabo and Aidan Hutchinson.
