He’s a 4-star, the #12 running back, and #168 overall.

Eyabi Okie, Ex-Wolverine

Michigan outside linebacker Eyabi Okie is entering the transfer portal. He has one more year of eligibility remaining and has also spent time at Alabama, Houston, and UT-Martin.

Okie was a 5-star recruit to Alabama in the class of 2018. But off-the-field issues led to him transferring multiple times. He seemed to sort things out at UT-Martin in 2021, and he was a late addition to Michigan’s program in August, even after camp began.

Early in the 2022 season, Okie was a situational pass rusher, but he earned more playing time as the season went along, especially once Mike Morris got hurt a couple weeks before the end of the season. Okie made 18 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, 2 pass breakups, and 4 quarterback hurries during his one year in Ann Arbor.

I would not be surprised to see Okie follow his high school coach, former Michigan staffer Biff Poggi, to Charlotte, where Poggi is now the head coach.

Here’s a look at what’s remaining at the EDGE positions for 2023:

EDGE: Braiden McGregor (RS Jr.), Derrick Moore (So.), Kechaun Bennett (RS So.), Enow Etta (Fr.)
Rush LB: Jaylen Harrell (RS Jr.), Josaiah Stewart (Jr.), Tyler McLaurin (RS So.), Aymeric Koumba (Fr.)

2025 Recruiting Update: January 11, 2023

ADDED TO THE BOARD: 2025

Justin Baker – RB – Buford (GA) Buford: Baker is a 5’9″, 185 lb. prospect with offers from Arkansas, Penn State, and USC, among others. Buford is a powerhouse program in the Peach State, but Michigan has not signed anyone from the program since 2018 when running back Christian Turner signed with the Wolverines.

Avery Gach – OT – Franklin (MI) Groves: Gach is a 6’5″, 275-pounder with offers from Maryland, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, and Wisconsin. Despite his high profile – and the tendency for Michigan to dominate those in-state recruitments – both of Gach’s parents graduated from Michigan State, so he’s a Spartan legacy. He did, however, travel to Columbus to watch Michigan beat Ohio State in the Horseshoe.

Justin Hill – DE – Cincinnati (OH) Winton Woods: Hill is a 6’4″, 205 lb. edge prospect who has offers from Kentucky and Michigan State. His high school teammate, cornerback Cameron Calhoun, recently signed with Michigan in the 2023 class.

Peyton Joseph – OG – Fort Valley (GA) Peach County: Joseph is a 6’4″, 280-pounder with offers from Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, and Notre Dame, among others.

Christian Pierce – LB – Oak Lawn (IL) Brother Rice: Pierce is a 6’0″, 210 lb. inside linebacker who’s the brother of Michigan signee Roderick Pierce. The younger brother has offers from Akron, Illinois, and Texas.
