Michigan football adds another experienced transfer to secondary

Michigan has added a second defensive back from the transfer portal in two days.

Safety Wesley Walker has transferred to Michigan, he announced Friday morning on social media. Walker (6-foot-1, 200 pounds) spent the last two seasons at Tennessee and the three before that at Georgia Tech. This will be Walker’s sixth season and final year of eligibility.

"Finish The Mission," Walker posted on social media above a photo edit of him in a Michigan uniform.

Michigan added cornerback Aamir Hall, who most recently played at Albany, a Football Championship Subdivision program, on Thursday night.

Last season at Tennessee, Walker started the first 10 games before missing the final two because of an injury. He was fourth on the team with 53 tackles. During his career, including Georgia Tech, he has 185 tackles, including 11 for loss and two sacks, one interception and three forced fumbles.

Walker had initially committed to Ole Miss but then transferred to Louisville in January. He re-entered the transfer portal in April. Michigan is lean at safety with the knee injury to Rod Moore suffered early in spring practice and the transfer of Keon Sabb. Walker will compete for playing time with Makari Paige, Zeke Berry, and Quinten Johnson.
