Former Lee County star Aubrey Solomon could be leaving Michigan

According to a report from Sam Cooper of Yahoo Sports, University of Michigan DL Aubrey Solomon of Lee County is looking at the possibility of transferring from UM. Solomon, who played at Lee County, was a five-star recruit when he signed with the Wolverines in February of last year.

Cooper wrote: “After multiple reports emerged earlier Monday, the program confirmed that defensive lineman Aubrey Solomon has been granted permission ‘to speak with other schools.’ Michigan did not say that Solomon has decided to transfer, though several media outlets are reporting that the five-star prospect has already made up his mind.”

Stadium’s Brett McMurphy was first to report the news.

Cooper added “Michigan said giving Solomon permission to contact other programs ‘gives him the opportunity to transfer or stay at Michigan.’

New NCAA rules mandate that schools place a student-athlete’s name into a transfer database once the player informs the school of his or her intent to transfer. Coaches from other schools can recruit the athlete once his or her name appears in the database. Schools have two business days to do so.
