Michigan wide receiver transfer Amorion Walker has signed with Middle Tennessee State University, according to On3’s Pete Nakos. The school soon thereafter announced his addition.

Walker spent two seasons at Michigan, transferred to Ole Miss for the spring of 2024, returned to the Wolverines for the 2024 season and has been listed on U-M’s spring roster in 2025 without a jersey number. Walker redshirted last season and has two years of eligibility remaining.

Walker wore the No. 1 jersey in 2024, which is prestigious among Michigan wide receivers, but saw action in just four games and caught 3 passes for 34 yards. Wide receivers coach and pass game coordinator Ron Bellamy was asked about Monday why he didn’t have a jersey number.

“He’s just working through something right now,” Bellamy replied. “Just trying to get healthy, working through something.”

Bellamy was hit with the question of whether or not Walker has been practicing.

“Working through something,” he said, declining to share any other information.

The 6-foot-3, 182-pounder was a wide receiver his freshman season but switched to cornerback as a sophomore. He went back to offense as a junior at Michigan.

Michigan EDGE transfer Kechaun Bennett has signed with UCLA, per On3’s Pete Nakos.

The 6-foot-4, 257-pounder played in 28 games over four years at Michigan, mostly seeing action on special teams. He totaled 7 tackles in his career and had a blocked punt against Minnesota in 2024.

“This year, my main focus is just to be the best version of me,” Bennett said in September 2024, discussing his journey at Michigan. “Just get better day by day and make impacts for the team. That’s my main focus, being an impact player — anything I can do, whether it’s special teams, defense, anything to help the team win.”

In 2024, Bennett appeared in 13 games, including three at EDGE, posting 4 tackles, 1 quarterback hurry and the aforementioned blocked punt.

Michigan reportedly went to see 2026 shooting guard Joe Sterling of Encino (Calif.) Harvard-Westlake.
