Former Utes starting cornerback Casey Hughes set to transfer to Michigan

Hughes, who announced last week that he would seek a graduate transfer for his final season of eligibility, posted via Twitter on Sunday afternoon that he’ll play for the University of Michigan.

It’s a blessing to say that I’ll be finishing my last collegiate season at the University of Michigan. I want to thank the entire Michigan coaching staff for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to join their program. COMMITTED! u303dufe0f #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/c5MAb683T3
