Breeon Ishmail, Ex-Wolverine

Rising third-year player Breeon Ishmail entered the transfer portal last week.

Ishmail is a 6’3″, 260 lb. player who was listed as an EDGE last season. He made 3 tackles while playing in eight games this past season after redshirting as a true freshman in 2023.

Ishmail was a 3-star, the #91 linebacker, and #1110 overall coming out of Cincinnati (OH) Princeton. He picked the Wolverines over offers from Kentucky, Pitt, Tennessee, and West Virginia, among others. I gave him a TTB Rating of 71 coming out of high school (LINK).

So far nine players from the class of 2023 have entered the transfer portal, including Ishmail.

2024 Season Countdown: #68 Breeon Ishmail

Name: Breeon Ishmail
Height: 6’3″
Weight: 260 lbs.
High school: Hamilton (OH) Princeton
Position: Edge
Class: Redshirt freshman
Jersey number: #58
Last year: I ranked Ishmail #108 and said he would redshirt (LINK). He redshirted.
TTB Rating: 71

Ishmail was raw and light last year, which led to him redshirting. As a bit of a do-everything guy in high school, he also needed some time to adjust to being an edge player at the college level and focus on refining his technique. On top of that, Michigan had solid depth at the edge positions in 2023, with Braiden McGregor and Jaylen Harrell (both now in the NFL) starting, and Josaiah Stewart and Derrick Moore (this year’s presumed starters) backing them up.

This year the depth is more questionable. Stewart had proven himself a competent player at Coastal Carolina, and Moore had already looked good as a freshman in 2022. Outside of T.J. Guy’s 81 snaps and Cameron Brandt’s 60 in 2023, nobody else really played much last year. So Michigan needs some new faces to step up and rush the passer when Stewart and Moore are off the field. I don’t think Ishmail will work his way into the two-deep, but he could be a depth piece or a special teams player.

Prediction: Backup outside linebacker
