For a few weeks now, we've discussed the possibility of Michigan bringing in at least one but possibly two grad-transfers at the wide receiver position.
It appears there are at least three wideouts that could fill that need for the Maize and Blue.
Josh Grady was a three-star recruit from Tampa, Fla., that ended up at Vanderbilt. The 6-0, 202-pounder is graduating this May and while he previously identified a top three of Florida, Maryland and South Florida, he is poised to consider other schools when he earns his degree and does not have to run his choices by the Commodores staff.
Grady has bounced between quarterback and wide receiver in his college career, and the tipping point could be a desire to play QB, which USF is offering. As a receiver, he has seven catches for 82 yards to his name, but he has good speed and hands.
Chris Gallon is a 6-4, 229-pound wideout at Bowling Green that could return to BGSU for his fifth year but may look at other opportunities. He is probably not high on U-M's list but is viewed more likely as a backup plan as he may have great size but is not a burner, and he has had a number of knee injuries throughout his career, missing the 2014 season and half of the 2013 season.
Florida's Valdez Showers was a four-star recruit out of Detroit that received a Michigan offer late in the process from Brady Hoke but remained committed to his UF pledge. In 32 games, he has 20 catches for 133 yards and two scores, but has never really found his niche with the Gators and is looking for the chance to return home. Finishing his career at U-M makes perfect sense, but is far from a done deal.
