Jordan Morant became the first Michigan football player to enter the NCAA transfer portal since the conclusion of spring practice in early April.
The redshirt sophomore submitted his name Friday, the Free Press learned.
Morant, a former four-star recruit from Parsippany, N.J., played primarily on special teams last season, when the Wolverines won the Big Ten championship and earned their first berth in the College Football Playoff.
The 6-0, 210-pound defensive back logged only seven snaps on defense.
