Wallace, a four-year starter and two-time team captain, made 41 tackles with two interceptions and eight pass breakups last season as a senior, playing for former Michigan defensive coordinator Don Brown.

Wallace adds experience to a relatively young cornerback room. With DJ Turner and Gemon Green both graduating, sophomore and former five-star recruit Will Johnson is expected to take on a big role, but prior to this transfer, he was the only player with significant game reps on the outside.
