Wesley Walker discussed his decision to transfer to Michigan, after spending the spring at Louisville and previously playing at Tennessee (2022-23) and Georgia Tech (2019-21).

“I felt like this was the spot for me,” Walker said. “This is my last year, so I was just trying to find a spot that allowed the smoothest transition to me and what I want for my career. When the opportunity came, I knew I had to come see how it was up here. When I got up here, it was a no brainer.

“Really the facility, the access that I have to getting my body right, just not only in the offseason but in-season and things that I have access to. The coaching staff was really transparent with me, and they painted a good picture for how they have seen how I can be implemented into the defense. Just overall, it just seemed like the best fit for me and what I was looking for.”

Walker played at Tennessee while Michigan linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary served in that same position with the Volunteers. He played a role in the recruitment and is a big reason why Walker ended up in Ann Arbor.

“Actually, he was one of the first to reach out to me when I entered the portal,” Walker said. “I felt it was kinda meant to be, him being here and then me visiting and liking it so much. I felt like it was just a connection that was meant to be. I kinda looked at it that way.”

Amorion Walker, meanwhile, discussed returning to Michigan after spending the spring at Ole Miss. He was asked what the biggest difficulty was and the easiest thing about coming back.

“The easiest is just fitting right back in,” Walker said. “I’m back with all my brothers, the ones I love the most. Just being around the guys is where I always wanted to be. Difficulty? I wouldn’t even say I’ve really had one. I’ve been coming out, I’ve been making plays. I wouldn’t even say there was a difficulty coming back.”
