ANN ARBOR — The Michigan football team has another departure on its hands.
Wide receiver Eddie McDoom has opted to leave the program, team spokesman Dave Ablauf confirmed to MLive on Wednesday.
McDoom was spotted leaving the football building in Schembechler Hall earlier today with garbage bags, six days into the start of fall camp.

The 6-foot, 187-pound McDoom was still listed on Michigan’s roster as of Wednesday, a sign that he intended on being part of the team this fall. He played in 12 games during the 2017 season, catching 11 passes for 81 yards as a slot receiver.

His departure marks the fourth signed wide receiver from Michigan’s 2016 recruiting class to leave the program, following Crawford, Ahmir Mitchell and Nate Johnson (dismissed).
Michigan has experienced a glut of departures on the offensive side of the ball in recent weeks, including Crawford, running back Kareem Walker, a former five-star prospect, and tight end Tyrone Wheatley, Jr .
