Michigan football edge rusher Eyabi Okie hits transfer portal ... yet again

Eyabi Okie's nomadic college career is expected to take another turn after the Michigan football edge defender entered the transfer portal Thursday.

Okie, a former five-star recruit in the 2018 class, joined the Wolverines in August as a surprise addition following a peripatetic journey that included stops at three other schools and a sudden descent toward obscurity that left him at Tennessee-Martin.

Undeterred by a checkered past that included a dismissal from Alabama and his subsequent removal from the University of Houston's football team, U-M welcomed Okie while expressing optimism that he could amplify a pass rush no longer propped up by stars Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo.
