Michigan football transfer portal 2024: News, announcements, players to watch, targets, needs, and recruiting

The Michigan Wolverines played one of the toughest schedules in the nation with six games against ranked opponents. They will face No. 11 Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Dec. 31 at Noon ET. It’s another example of how the Wolverines haven’t shied away from playing top competition despite losing talent from their national championship squad last season. The Wolverines played four of the 12 teams in the College Football Playoff, going 1-3 in those matchups, and the offseason will be about rebuilding championship culture as Sherrone Moore enters his second year as head coach.

Michigan football transfer portal news, preview

Michigan defensive back Will Johnson officially declared for the NFL Draft on Wednesday and that’s no surprise as he’s likely to be one of the first defensive players selected in the 2024 NFL Draft. Johnson, at 6-foot-2, 202 pounds, was a lockdown corner for Michigan who scored more touchdowns (three) than he allowed (two) over his three college seasons. Johnson, along with defensive lineman Mason Graham, are two likely top-10 picks from the Michigan defense and the Wolverines could rely on the transfer portal to fill integral starting spots as anchors on the defense.

Several top defensive linemen have already entered the transfer portal, including Bear Alexander (USC), Keeshawn Silver (Kentucky) and Travis Shaw (North Carolina), so those could be intriguing names for Michigan football fans to watch to replace Graham.

A shutdown cornerback is challenging to find in the transfer portal, but Julian Humphrey (Georgia) is one to monitor. Michigan had the No. 18 scoring defense in college football last season and allowed the 12th-fewest yards per game and produced top talent for the 2024 NFL Draft in the process, so top defensive players in the 2024 college football transfer portal could view Michigan as an attractive landing spot. Get all the latest 2024 Michigan football transfer portal updates at The Michigan Insider.
