Two more players announced they won’t be sticking around for the Jim Harbaugh era of Michigan football.
Quarterback Russell Bellomy and tight end Keith Heitzman have announced they will transfer from Michigan. The news was reported earlier by profootballtalk.com.

"To those of you that know me well, I always try my hardest never to get emotional; however, I write this with a heavy heart,” Bellomy wrote in his Instagram post. "My heart is packed full of experiences, acquaintances and irreplaceable memories that I will reminisce on for the rest of my life. I love each and every one of my teammates, both former and present, and I hope y’all know that every day I busted my butt for you and the benefit of UM."
Both Heitzman and Bellomy will be eligible to play in 2015, as both will be grad students next semester. Bellomy’s release stipulates that he may transfer to any school not on Michigan’s 2015 schedule.
A career-backup, Bellomy has the same number of completions (four) as he does interceptions.
Earlier this week, running back Justice Hayes announced he would be leaving Michigan as well.
