  With Michigan losing cornerbacks DJ Turner and Gemon Green to the NFL this offseason, the team will be searching for a new starter in 2023 to play the opposite side of burgeoning sophomore Will Johnson. The Wolverines are only two practices into spring ball, but head coach Jim Harbaugh said Thursday they might have potentially found that player. "Amorion Walker is - I consider him a starter right now, just off the first few practices," Harbaugh said. Michigan doesn't have much experience at the corner position and has Walker primarily focusing on defense this spring. The rising sophomore is a former three-star receiver recruit from Louisiana who played just six snaps at corner in 2022 and five at receiver.

But his speed and length - he's listed at 6-foot-3 - make him an intriguing option on the outside heading into 2023. Earlier this month, Johnson posted a video on social media of Walker running the three-cone drill. The drill was timed by Michigan's coaching staff, and he clocked in at 6.10 seconds, which would be a record at the NFL Scouting Combine. "You just don't know for sure whether it's receiver or corner, but the length he has, the athletic ability that he has, speed that he has and the change of direction, mainly, for a guy that's 6-3, 6-4," Harbaugh said. "It's rare for a corner to be able to have that length and speed, but have that change of direction. So you just want to find out, and that's what I think what (defensive backs coach Steve Clinkscale) thinks. But we'll see if we're right." - Ann Arbor News
