Michigan football LB Ben VanSumeren enters NCAA transfer portal after brother decommits

Michigan football linebacker Ben VanSumeren entered the NCAA transfer portal less than 24 hours after his brother, Alex, backed out of his commitment to the Wolverines.

VanSumeren, a redshirt sophomore this past season, spent most of his career in Ann Arbor as a reserve player. He was used at times on defense, offense and special teams.

Until this year, VanSumeren was mostly deployed as a fullback. He then transitioned to the other side of the ball, where he played 76 snaps in six games and made two starts in losses to Indiana and Penn State.
