Michigan football LB Adam Shibley, a former walk-on, to transfer

A former walk-on linebacker who earned a scholarship is the latest Michigan football player to enter the NCAA transfer portal.

Adam Shibley is seeking to finish his college career elsewhere and is planning to enroll at another university as a graduate student.

The 6-foot-1, 225-pound Shibley wasn't recruited by the Wolverines, but he managed to work his way up the depth chart and earned a start in the team's finale against Penn State this past season.

After being awarded a scholarship last spring, Shibley was elevated from a special teams contributor to a regular reserve on a defense depleted by injuries and COVID-19-related opt outs.
