Je'Ron Stokes Finds A Home At Bowling Green

The Toledo Blade has just reported that Je'Ron Stokes has set up his transfer to Bowling Green. We originally reported Stokes had decided to leave Michigan last August and left a hole for Michigan at wide receiver.

Though he only had 1 catch last season, the loss was significant because of Stonum's suspension for all of this year. He originally signed his letter of intent for Rich Rodriguez and had been rated as a 4 star recruit by Rivals.

The transfer to Bowling Green is not a big surprise since Stoke's brother is already a quarterback at Bowling Green. Stokes stated that he felt it would be a "smooth transition" to his new school although he will be required to sit out this season because of his transfer. He will have two years left to play at Bowling Green after sitting out this year.

Though I'm sure most fans would like to still see him in the maize and blue, we can only wish him the best of luck with his new team and family members. Perhaps he can do big things in the MAC and potentially make it to the NFL.

Je'Ron Stokes Leaves Michigan

Sadly, another transfer occurred today. The Detroit Free Press and The Wolverine just reported that junior wide receiver Je'Ron Stokes has opted to transfer from the football program. He clearly was not a starting wide receiver, but the loss of more depth at the wide receiver position could be devastating to the team considering Darryl Stonum's suspension and that two of the current "starters" are seniors.

Stokes only had 1 catch in 2010 for 11 yards and 2 catches in 2009 for 16 yards. This demonstrates that he was far from being the #1 target at Michigan and this could have been a significant portion of his decision.

His stats may not have been great, but he was originally rated as a 4 star recruit by Rivals and seemed to be developing relatively well, but it appears that he did not feel comfortable with the team. Specifics have not been released, but we do know his place on the depth chart was likely a factor.

We can only wish him the best and hope that other players can step up to fill the void.
