TRANSFER PORTAL

Brice Pollock – CB – Mississippi State: Pollock is a 6’1″, 190 lb. corner who has played 22 games over his first two years in college. (He played alongside former Michigan safety Jordan Morant.) He made 48 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 interception, and 9 pass breakups as a sophomore in 2024. He was a 3-star, the #48 cornerback, and #467 overall. Despite bringing in a great defensive back class in 2025, Michigan needs to replace a couple starter-level players in Aamir Hall (graduation) and Will Johnson (likely leaving for NFL). UPDATE: Pollock’s visit plans seem to have fallen through.

Tevis Metcalf – S – Arkansas: Metcalf was a 5’10”, 192 lb. freshman this past season and made 1 tackle while playing in twelve games for the Razorbacks.

T.J. Metcalf – S – Arkansas: The other Metcalf is a 6’1″, 200 lb. rising junior who made 57 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 3 interceptions, and 7 pass breakups as a starting safety this past season. He was a 3-star, the #51 safety, and #541 overall in the class of 2023, when Michigan also recruited him.

Keeshawn Silver – DT – Kentucky: Silver is a 6’4″, 336 lb. nose tackle who spent two seasons at North Carolina before transferring to Kentucky. He was offered by Michigan out of high school. The 2022 season was his redshirt year and then he made 3 tackles while playing in three games in 2023. He made 26 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 sack, and 1 pass breakup this past season for the Wildcats and has two years of eligibility remaining.

Josh Thompson – OT – Northwestern: Thompson is expected to visit Michigan on Monday, December 16. The fifth year transfer from Fenton (MI) Fenton was a 3-star and the #1283 player in the class of 2021, garnering mostly MAC offers and then the Northwestern offer that he accepted. He started ten games at right guard this past season and started eleven games at right tackle in 2023. He garnered a PFF grade of 74.9 as a guard in 2024.

Jordan White – C – Liberty: White is a 6’2″, 300 lb. interior lineman who was on the Rimington and Outland watch lists prior to the 2024 season. He originally signed with WVU in 2020 and sat on the sideline for most of 2020 and 2021 before starting three games in 2022; he then transferred to Liberty, where he posted a grade of 72.1 starting every game at center in 2023, and then started at left guard in 2024, earning an 82.2 grade from PFF. He has one year of eligibility remaining.

2026

Jackson Cantwell – OT – Nixa (MO) Nixa: Cantwell is a 6’7″, 300-pounder who is the #1 overall prospect for his class. He has offers from Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Missouri, and Oregon, among others.
