Son of former Michigan football assistant set to leave Wolverines, transfer

In the twilight of the Mark Dantonio era, Edward Warinner made a most unusual move.

The Michigan State football linebacker began the process of transferring to in-state rival Michigan in January 2020.

But he had a good reason: His father, Ed, was the offensive line coach for the Wolverines at the time.

Now, he isn't. The senior Warinner's contract wasn't renewed in January and less than a month later he landed at Florida Atlantic.

Will his son now follow him? That's the question after the Michigan football defender entered the transfer portal Thursday for the second time in his college career.
