There are rumors that Nikhai Hill-Green, who departed Michigan football via the transfer portal during the offseason, may make a comeback.
It is impossible to have too much depth. For this reason, I would see the rumors circulating about former Michigan football linebacker Nikhai Hill-Green making a comeback as encouraging.
In the 2021 season, Hill-Green appeared in 13 games for the Wolverines and recorded 50 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 1 pass defense. Due to an injury, the 6-foot-1, 225-pound player missed the 2022 year. Following former Michigan football assistant Biff Poggi, he transferred to Charlotte.
Reactions to the return of former Michigan football linebacker Hill-Green, who saw action in 11 games and recorded 73 tackles in the previous campaign. In addition, he was given credit for two sacks, nine tackles for loss, a forced fumble, and three pass breakups. This offseason, Hill-Green made another entry into the transfer portal. Originally, he had committed to attend UCF, but he later changed his mind.
According to Chris Balas of The Wolverine, he has been working out in Ann Arbor and is accessible. Hill-Green was chosen as the third team in the American Athletic Conference. However, it sounds like he transferred because he fell further down the depth chart due to other injuries.
Football at Michigan would be a logical landing destination. Although the Wolverines have a strong linebacker corps, more depth is always required. It sounds like there might be some issues with the admissions process that need to be resolved. In addition, I’m curious if the Wolverines may provide NIL in lieu of a scholarship in this case. It was done during the previous season, and other shows follow suit.
In any case, Michigan football fans should keep an eye on Hill-Green throughout the spring transfer window. Ernest Hausmann and Jaishawn Barham will get the start, but in the Big Ten, good depth is always a plus, and Hill-Green would supply it.
