Anthony Solomon in the transfer portal
January 3rd, 2022 at 4:32 PM ^
Best wishes, young man. Fare thee well. Thank you for your time at Michigan.
January 3rd, 2022 at 4:35 PM ^
Defense changed, hope he finds success.
January 3rd, 2022 at 4:35 PM ^
Remind me, please: do transfers via the portal have to sit out a year? Or would someone like Solomon be eligible to play in the fall of 2022?
January 3rd, 2022 at 4:41 PM ^
With the new rule, you get one transfer with immediate eligibility, unless you already transferred during your college career, in which case you would have to sit out or apply for a waiver.
Being this is Solomon's first transfer, he'll be able to play in 2022.
January 3rd, 2022 at 4:36 PM ^
Best of luck to him. An unsurprising casualty of the scheme change as he was recruited to play viper.
January 3rd, 2022 at 4:36 PM ^
Makes sense with MacDonald's defense.
Appreciate the years and ST effort.
January 3rd, 2022 at 4:39 PM ^
Good luck to the young man

what??? OU's starting QB?
yes, this is a threadjack...
January 3rd, 2022 at 4:46 PM ^
Does Texas need a QB? They are throwing around "NIL Money" in boat loads right now.
January 3rd, 2022 at 4:53 PM ^
At what point do established starters start transferring just because they know they can get a better NIL $$$ deal somewhere else?
College football free agency of sorts.
You know it is going to happen.
January 3rd, 2022 at 4:57 PM ^
I don’t think that’s too likely. The guys who will make big NIL money are also going to make NFL money (which is still a lot more). If you want to fast-track your way to the pros, switching schools and starting over in a new system probably isn't the way to do that.
January 3rd, 2022 at 5:58 PM ^
They got the kid from osu. Ewers.
January 3rd, 2022 at 8:38 PM ^
No Texas got their 5* transfer already.
January 3rd, 2022 at 4:49 PM ^
The part where he said he's totally open to returning is funny because it's never going to happen but he doesn't want to bum everyone out just yet.
It does make sense since the guys who recruited him aren't there and there's a real chance OU finds life in the SEC rough
January 3rd, 2022 at 5:04 PM ^
I wouldn’t say that. Indiana basketball’s Trace Jackson-Davis and Illinois basketball’s Kofi Cockburn both entered the portal before returning to their respective schools.
January 3rd, 2022 at 4:51 PM ^
Maybe Rattler will transfer back to OU now!
January 3rd, 2022 at 10:48 PM ^
Dillon Gabriel just reneged on UCLA and committed to OU. That was fast.
January 3rd, 2022 at 5:04 PM ^
Wasn't this regarded as likely when Riley left?
January 3rd, 2022 at 4:47 PM ^
A guy without a position in this defense. Wish him luck.
January 3rd, 2022 at 4:49 PM ^
DB Darion Green-Warren has entered the transfer portal.
January 3rd, 2022 at 5:06 PM ^
Not surprising given his inability to get on the field thus far and with the incoming class of DBs.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Seldon follow him for the same reasons.
January 3rd, 2022 at 5:07 PM ^
Michigan has suffered its second transfer portal of the day on Monday as sophomore defensive back Darion Green-Warren has entered the transfer portal, The Maize and Blue Review has learned.
The California native did not see game action during the 2020 and 2021 seasons for the Wolverines.
Green-Warren was a four-star recruit coming out of Narbonne High School. He was ranked as the No. 124 overall prospect in the 2020 class.

January 3rd, 2022 at 5:27 PM ^
Suffered????
January 3rd, 2022 at 5:08 PM ^
This is certainly not surprising. There will likely be more DBs from this roster taking a look here.
January 3rd, 2022 at 5:14 PM ^
The writing was a bit on the wall when he didn't see time this year. Wish him luck and my guess is we'll see some more attrition.
January 3rd, 2022 at 5:44 PM ^
Best wishes for success. I figured Perry would be going he’s like 2 years ahead of green-Warren who I thinks a redshirt freshman. Too bad that Hill, Green, Green-Warren, Hill-green defensive lineup isn’t going to materialize.
January 3rd, 2022 at 5:03 PM ^
I wish Mr. Solomon well, and hope this decision opens up more opportunities for him. It has to be very hard to commit to a school, attend that school, and then to realize that you are unlikely to see much playing time at that school.
I don't know enough about football to fully understand what goes into seeing the field. Obviously, part of the answer has to do with a player's size, part with speed, part with athletic ability, part with hard work, part with fitting into a particular scheme, part with how you mesh with coaches, part with filling a particular need. Obviously, some players are more talented than others. But I also have sometimes not really understood why some players are particularly suited to one team and are a bad fit on another team. This would be a great article sometime.
As an example, Brian has sometimes lamented that the offense has no role for a fullback. I also lamented myself that Michigan seemed to favor smaller offensive and defensive linemen starting with Rich Rodriguez. I would love to have someone explain to me what exactly Michigan is looking for and who they're not looking for.

3.5* player molded for the viper, great offer list based on coverage skills. Hello post here as a reminder - https://mgoblog.com/content/hello-anthony-solomon

Good luck! Hope you are successful where you end up.
