It’s been an offseason full of change for Michigan football, and that includes the Wolverines’ roster. Not only could U-M see roughly 20 players from the national championship-winning Team 144 get drafted this April, several others have chosen to continue their careers elsewhere.
When Jim Harbaugh left Ann Arbor to become the new head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers, a 30-day window opened to Wolverine players to enter the transfer portal. That window is now closed, and while the Wolverines lost a couple guys who could have been key pieces in 2024 and beyond, Sherrone Moore and the Michigan staff did an excellent job keeping most of its roster intact through the transition period.
Here’s a full look at Michigan’s incoming and outgoing activity in the transfer portal so far this year:
