The Michigan football program’s wide receiver corps continues to thin.
Karmello English, a wideout who appeared in seven games as a true freshman during the Wolverines’ national championship season, announced on social media over the weekend he will put his name in the transfer portal and is looking for a new home.
“I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a Wolverine,” the post began. “I would like to thank Coach Harbaugh, Coach Moore and Coach Bellamy for believing in my ability to play at UM. More notably, I appreciate my teammates, Michigan fans and my support staff!”
The post continued to say after “careful consideration” he will enter the portal April 16.
English was a four-star recruit, rated the No. 26 wide receiver in the nation and the No. 16 overall player in Alabama in the Class of 2023, according to 247Sports composite rankings.
The 5-foot-11, 190-pound wide receiver caught just one pass during his career in the maize and blue but he made the most of it; a four-yard touchdown reception from Jack Tuttle late in a 52-7 victory over Indiana.
