Damon Payne officially announced a commitment to Michigan on Wednesday ahead of Alabama football taking on the Wolverines in the ReliaQuest Bowl.
The former Tide defensive lineman played at Alabama from 2022 to 2024. He played 288 snaps under Alabama’s defensive coordinator Kane Wommack this season, per Pro Football Focus.
Payne is expected to know quite a bit about Alabama’s defense. Is Alabama worried about Payne giving away Tide secrets to Michigan?
“This is the world we live in right now, transfer portal, signals and all that other stuff,” Wommack said when asked about the possibility in Wednesday.
