Michigan football adds Edward Warinner, son of OL coach, a transfer from Michigan State

Michigan football has added a transfer linebacker. And his name will sound familiar.

A team spokesperson confirmed Monday morning that Edward Warinner, son of offensive line coach Ed Warinner and a former Michigan State player, is enrolled at Michigan and a member of the football program.

Edward Warinner was a redshirt freshman in 2018; he appeared in seven games this season, making three tackles. He entered the transfer portal earlier this month.

The 6-foot, 225-pound linebacker signed with the Spartans as a member of their 2018 class. He was a three-star prospect ranked No. 1,252 overall and the No. 51 inside linebacker, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. It is unknown whether Edward Warinner is on scholarship at Michigan.

His father, Ed, just concluded his second season as U-M's offensive line coach after taking over for former assistant Tim Drevno.
