Michigan senior defensive end Luiji Vilain has entered the transfer portal, the second Wolverine in two days to announce.

Junior running back Zach Charbonnet announced his intentions yesterday.

Vilain, a former four-star recruit and top 100 player (No. 74) out of Alexandria, Va., notched 11 tackles and one sack at Michigan. He suffered two serious injuries that cost him time and never materialized as the pass rusher many expected him to be.

Vilain was healthy for the first time in three seasons last year but never really regained his confidence after back-to-back knee surgeries that sidelined him for the 2017 and 2018 seasons. He notched two solo tackles and two assists in five games played this season.
