T.J. Lindsey – DT – Bryant (AR) Bryant: Lindsey is a 6’6″, 260 lb. prospect with offers from Arkansas, Arkansas State, Georgia, Notre Dame, Tennessee, and Texas A&M, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #27 edge, and #402 overall, but I think he will end up playing defensive tackle at the next level.
L.J. McCray – DT – Daytona Beach (FL) Mainland: McCray is a 6’5″, 255-pounder with offers from Auburn, Florida, and Florida State, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #39 defensive lineman, and #432 overall.
Carter Nelson – TE – Ainsworth (NE) Ainsworth: Nelson is a 6’4″, 205 lb. tight end target with offers from Auburn, Iowa, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and Penn State, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #9 tight end, and #187 overall. Michigan doesn’t send out many offers to kids playing eight-man football, so here’s a special treat:
Xavier Porter – DT – Tampa (FL) Catholic: Porter is a 6’2″, 265-pounder with offers from Kentucky, Tennessee, UCF, and UCF, among others. He’s a 3-star, the #36 defensive lineman, and #392 overall.
OFF THE BOARD
T.J. Capers – LB – Miami (FL) Northwestern: Capers committed to Louisville. He’s a 5-star, the #2 edge, and #7 overall in 2024.
Peyton Woodyard – S – Bellflower (CA) St. John Bosco: Woodyard committed to Georgia. He’s a 4-star, the #2 safety, and #29 overall.

Rising junior wide receiver Andrel Anthony has decided to take his talents elsewhere, announcing an entrance into the transfer portal on Wednesday.
Anthony was a 3-star, the #81 wide receiver, and #526 in the recruiting class in 2021, according to the 247 Composite. Here’s what I said about Anthony during his recruitment, before I gave him a TTB Rating of 67 (LINK):
Overall, Anthony is a so-so prospect. When I watch him, I see Ronnie Bell minus the YAC. I like Bell as a player, but if you took away his ability to run through tackles and maintain his balance, whatever remained would be nothing special. With the talent Michigan is bringing in at receiver, I picture Anthony getting lost in the shuffle.
I did bump him up to a 73 after his senior film.
Anthony played in all fourteen games in 2022, but he made just 7 catches for 80 yards and 1 touchdown. That was a significant drop-off from his freshman year, when he made 12 catches for 248 yards and 3 touchdowns, including a 6-catch, 155-yard, 2-touchdown effort against Michigan State in 2021. That one game appeared to be a breakout, but the 2021 season was played without leading receiver Ronnie Bell, so other players had to step up. With the return of Bell – and every other significant receiving target – in 2022, Anthony was pushed down a rung in the pecking order.
Here’s a look at the potential depth chart for 2023, assuming Bell and Cornelius Johnson are both going to move on to the NFL:
WR1: Darrius Clemons (So.), Cristian Dixon (RS So.), Karmello English (Fr.)
WR2: Roman Wilson (Sr.), Amorion Walker (So.), Fredrick Moore (Fr.)
WR3: A.J. Henning (Sr.), Tyler Morris (So.), Eamonn Dennis (RS Jr.), Semaj Morgan (Fr.)
I had projected Anthony as a starter in 2023 with Bell and Johnson gone, so this depth chart pushes unproven receivers like Clemons and Henning into starters’ roles. I would not be surprised to see Michigan scope out the transfer portal for a receiver to help out with depth.
Anthony is the third player from the 2021 class to enter the transfer portal, joining defensive lineman George Rooks III (Boston College) and tight end Louis Hansen (UConn).
