Former Michigan running back Derrick Green transfers to TCU

Former Michigan running back Derrick Green has officially transferred to TCU for his final year of eligibility, according to a university spokesman. He will be eligible to play immediately as a graduate transfer.

Citing sources, 247Sports' Jeremy Clark first reported the story Thursday night.

Green was granted his release from Michigan in January after rushing just 47 times for 157 yards in 2015. He'll compete for more carries in the Horned Frogs' backfield; last season's rushing leader, Aaron Green (no relation), is preparing for training camp with the Los Angeles Rams.

Derrick Green came to Michigan as a heralded ESPN 300 recruit, but he never lived up to expectations. He was ranked as the fifth-best running back prospect in the 2013 class but started only seven career games with the Wolverines.

He finished his Michigan career with 212 carries for 898 yards and seven touchdowns over three years.

He did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
