Michigan Wolverine Football: John O’Korn Transfers to Michigan
John O’Korn tweeted today that he will be transferring to Michigan to play for Jim Harbaugh and Jedd Fisch and the Michigan football program.
He will enter Michigan as a Junior in school while red-shirting this year because of the NCAA transfer rules that apply. Since he played right away while at Houston he won’t lose a year of real playing time and still have two years of eligibility left after this red-shirt season.
