Michigan RB Kareem Walker transferring to Kansas JUCO

Michigan running back Kareem Walker, a top-50 recruit in the 2016 class, is transferring to a junior college in Kansas for the 2018 season.

Fort Scott Community College coach Kale Pick said last week at Jayhawk Conference media day that Walker has signed with his program. ESPN rated Walker as the No. 4 running back, No. 45 overall recruit and No. 2 prospect from New Jersey in the 2016 class.

"We just signed him today," Pick said Friday. "We're very excited about that."

After sitting out the 2016 season because of academic issues, Walker appeared in five games for Michigan last fall, recording 20 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown.
