Justice Haynes has announced he is planning to enter the transfer portal, the Michigan running back announced on Friday.
«I’ve grown as an athlete and as a person, learned from incredible coaches, and built relationships that I’ll carry with me for life,» Haynes wrote in a post on Instagram. «Representing Michigan and embracing what it means to be a Michigan Man is something I’ll always be proud of.»
The 21-year-old Haynes will spend only one season in Ann Arbor after transferring to Michigan last year following two years with Alabama. The junior rushed for 857 yards and 10 touchdowns this season and averaged 7.1 yards per carry as the Wolverines finished 9-4 and lost in the Citrus Bowl to Texas.

As Haynes departs, Oklahoma back Taylor Tatum will enter the running back in Ann Arbor after transferring from the Sooners.
