Michigan defensive lineman Luiji Vilain, whose early career was sidetracked by injuries, has entered his name in the NCAA transfer portal.
Vilain’s name appeared Tuesday, a day after Michigan running back Zach Charbonnet also made himself available in the portal. The 6-foot-4, 253-pound Vilain, a graduate transfer, arrived at Michigan in 2017 with a minor knee issue and then tore a knee ligament that required surgery. After working his way back for the next season, he tore a ligament in the other knee and underwent surgery.
Last season, Vilain played in five games and and four tackles.
