Several teams across AF1 continued to reshape their rosters Thursday, adding depth through signings at multiple positions.

Michigan led the activity, adding four players across offense and defense. The Wolverines signed Joel Blankenship, a 6-foot-1, 250-pound fullback and linebacker from Southern Illinois, and wide receiver Arron Foulkes, a 5-foot-8, 160-pound transfer who previously played at Eastern Illinois and Saginaw Valley State.

Michigan also strengthened its secondary with the additions of defensive backs AJ Felton, a 5-foot-8, 180-pound transfer from Southern Utah, and Dahlil Wilkins, a 5-foot-9, 185-pound defensive back from Clark Atlanta University.

Kentucky added size to its defensive line with the signing of Geemontae Peck, a 6-foot-4, 305-pound lineman from Davenport University.

Albany addressed its special teams by bringing back kicker Henry Nell, who returns to the program after previously serving in the role.

Washington rounded out the day’s moves by adding Tank Brewster, a 6-foot-2, 255-pound linebacker and defensive lineman from Simon Fraser University, adding depth to its front seven.
