Two years after retiring from football due to a heart condition, JD Johnson plans to resume his career.
The process began this summer when Johnson was re-evaluated and cleared by a Cleveland Clinic cardiologist.
Then, the former three-star quarterback took another step Friday when he entered the NCAA transfer portal. It was an unusual move, but a necessary one because Johnson has been on scholarship with the Michigan football program since he enrolled in 2020.
Head coach Jim Harbaugh made headlines in 2019 when the Wolverines decided to honor Johnson's full ride after ongoing issues related to a congenital defect with his aorta forced him to quit playing.
