Michigan Thursday: Loses 2 LB's

Michigan on Wednesday lost two linebackers, one to the transfer portal and another one to the NFL.

Anthony Jordan a former 4 star LB prospect in the 2017 class from IMG in Florida has entered the transfer portal.   The rise of McGrone and Ross's unexpected redshirt injury year pushed the talented LB to look for playing time at another program.    Jordan played in 9 games this year and 7 games in the 2018 season.   He will have two years to play at his new program.  Jordan finished his Michigan career with 7 solo tackles, 7 assisted, 1 TFL, and 1 sack.

The next LB to move on is Josh Uche who will leave Michigan to head to the NFL Draft.  This wasn't a surprise since Josh accepted an invite to the Senior Bowl about a month ago.   Josh did have one year of eligibility left and will play in Michigan's bowl game.  He will need to improve his draft ranking at the senior bowl and NFL Combine as ESPN right now has him the 9th OLB in the draft.

The Jordan loss is hard to swallow over Uche who was always going to leave Michigan after this year.  Still Michigan is in great shape with McGrone and Ross coming back for another year.

  • TE Sean McKeon has accepted an invite to play in the Senior Bowl.  He joins Metellus, Bredeson, and Uche.
