Michigan wide receiver Tyler Morris, who started throughout the season and led Wolverines wideouts in receiving, is set to enter the transfer portal, he announced on social media Tuesday.
Morris, a junior from Illinois, finished second on the team with 248 receiving yards behind tight end Colston Loveland. He tied for second on the squad with 23 receptions, matching Semaj Morgan.
The 5-11, 185-pound Morris had 13 receptions for 197 yards in 2023, including a 38-yard touchdown in the CFP semifinal against Alabama at the Rose Bowl. He started four games last season after appearing in eight as a true freshman in 2022, when he caught three passes for 25 yards.
ESPN rated Morris as the No. 180 overall recruit in the 2022 class. Morris’ expected entry into the portal was first reported by 247 Sports.
Michigan, which upset No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday to finish the regular season at 7-5, awaits a bowl assignment and an opponent this weekend.
