— Michigan was without top target Roman Wilson on Saturday, one week after the sophomore wide receiver suffered an undisclosed injury. As a result, Michigan (6-0) had to play without him, providing quarterback Cade McNamara one fewer receiver option.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — An ankle injury that kept Daylen Baldwin off the field for all but one snap during Michigan’s first two games is feeling better.

Or how they prepare for the Michigan Wolverines.”Time will tell, obviously, but Michigan opened the week as a 5 1/2-point betting favorite.

It is just a play a practice that’s a big chunk variety. He averaged more than 17 yards per catch before enrolling early at Michigan to participate in spring practices. “Andrel Anthony continues to make a big play every single practice,” Harbaugh said Thursday on the “In the Trenches” podcast with Jon Jansen.

Daylen Baldwin hasn’t taken a usual path to becoming a Michigan Wolverine. Underrecruited in high school, the Waterford Mott graduate began his college career at Morgan State, a Football Championship Subdivision school. After entering the transfer portal, he garnered interest from about 25 schools, including Ohio State and Penn State, before committing to Michigan as a graduate transfer on June 14.

Daylen Baldwin grew up in southeast Michigan, calling Southfield home while he attended nearby Farmington High School — before eventually transferring to Waterford. All of his friends were fans of either Michigan or Michigan State, the two big-time colleges, and understandably so. Baldwin, in a recent interview with MLive, said the opportunity came shortly after a workout for Ohio State. In his first two seasons at Morgan State, Baldwin only caught 30 passes for 331 yards and two touchdowns. But his decision to transfer to Jackson State in 2019 helped launch his upward trajectory.

Daylen Baldwin, a graduate transfer wide receiver from Jackson State, announced his verbal commitment to the Wolverines on Monday. Reports say Baldwin, who is from Southfield, earned a scholarship offer after working out in front of Michigan coaches last week. As a senior, Baldwin led Jackson State with 27 catches, 540 receiving yards and seven touchdowns during an abbreviated six-game schedule this spring. The addition gives Michigan some added experience and depth at wide receiver, after Giles Jackson abruptly transferred out of Michigan in the spring. He is the third grad transfer to commit to Michigan in 2021, following quarterback Alan Bowman (Texas Tech) and defensive tackle Jordan Whittley (Oregon State).
