Blake Countess to Transfer from Michigan

Yesterday, it was reported by some that Michigan's special teams ace/WR, Josh Norwood, had been kicked off the team. This morning, Scout.com's Sam Webb reported Norwood wasn't excommunicated, but rather just suspended.

But for the second time in as many days, it's been announced that a Michigan player is leaving he program. This time, however, the report comes straight from the horse's mouth.

Blake Countess, a former four-star DB, announced through an Instagram post that he's leaving Michigan as a graduate transfer and will play elsewhere:

 

My past four years here at the University of Michigan have been great! Nothing but love and appreciation for Ann Arbor, the faculty, the coaches, the support staff and the great fans but after many sleepless nights and much prayer I have decided to play my final year of eligibility elsewhere. I truly thank those that have been there for me and hope you would continue to do so. #ForeverGoBlue
