Ex-Michigan State DB re-enters transfer portal following initial commitment to Pitt
Former Michigan State defensive back Michael Dowell has re-entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal. The ex-Spartan made the announcement last week, despite previously committing to Pitt.
Dowell posted a note on Twitter explaining that he is no longer committed to Pitt and will explore other options.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances I will not be attending the University of Pittsburgh,” Dowell wrote. “I am still in the transfer portal looking for a destination. I am a grad transfer S/OLB with 2 years of eligibility left. Contact me for further information/interest.”
