Kentucky, Pitt, Arizona and Arizona State are among the programs Cole is reported to be looking at or considering at this point, and a visit to Kentucky is likely sometime within the next few weeks, Wolverine247 also confirmed.

The former Saginaw (MI) Heritage star was the #1 ranked player in the state for the class of 2015 and committed to Michigan under Brady Hoke over Michigan State, Ohio State and a host of others. Cole saw time in three separate games this season, with one coming at wide receiver and two coming on special teams.
