Punter Will Hart in Transfer Portal

Submitted by True Blue 9 on December 16th, 2020 at 8:37 PM

Hate to be the bearer of bad news after a day full of great recruiting news but Angelique is reporting that Punter Will Hart is in the transfer portal. 

I had forgotten that Robbins took over midseason. Kind of a bummer. Hart was a rockstar last season. Hope he lands somewhere good for his career.

Rumor had it that Hart didn’t feel comfortable after a position switch to DT. I completely understand his reason to transfer and wish him the best in his future. 

Go Blue!

Very strange career trajectory 

Three year starter, benched halfway through his senior year and is now grad transferring for a fifth year that I assume is granted only because of COVID

Best of luck, sad it ended poorly

I'll refrain from calling it a Hart-less decision and instead wish him good fortune wherever he transfers unless and until his next team faces Michigan.

Punter is one of the few positions in Harbaugh's tenure that has been consistently good.  If there is one thing we do well, it is punting.  Sad to see Will Hart leave but we will reload at punter.

Honestly this transfer is best for both parties.  We already have a really good punter so having the extra scholarship will be helpful.  If Nordin stays for another year we will already have 4 kickers on scholarship without Hart.

He was already a fifth year player and graduate student according to (sorry) the Freep.  I would imagine it is very possible he might not be offered another year by UM. Time to move on.
