Certainly Looks Like A Former Michigan Player Has Transferred To Ohio State

After announcing his plans to enter the transfer portal before the start of the CFB Playoffs, Joey Velazquez, a two-sport athlete for Michigan (baseball & football), seems to have transferred to Ohio State.

Velazquez, a Columbus, Ohio native, can be seen in the photo from James Laurinaitis with the Buckeye LB group watching the Super Bowl. Velazquez is in the back on the right in the black sweatshirt.

Velazquez, a former three-star recruit who graduated from Michigan, was a backup LB for the Wolverines who saw some action on special teams.

On the baseball diamond, Velazquez hit .255 for the baseball team with nine home runs and a .340 OBP. The outfielder and left-handed hitter helped the Wolverines win the Big Ten tournament in 2022 and advance to the NCAA tournament in 2021-22.

Justin Boren comes to mind as the last Michigan player to transfer to Ohio State.

Velazquez will be a walk-on for Ohio State:
