Chris Bracy, Wolverine

Memphis transfer safety Chris Bracy is transferring to Michigan.

Bracy is a 6’1″, 195 lb. safety who started eleven games in 2025 and played in thirteen altogether, making 81 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, 1 interception, 1 forced fumble, and 9 pass breakups. His position coach for the Tigers was former Michigan linebacker Desmond Morgan. In the 2023 and 2024 seasons combined at UAB, he made 33 tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss, 1 interception (returned for 58 yards against Louisiana), and 2 pass breakups.

Coming out of Mobile (AL) St. Paul’s Episcopal in 2023, Bracy was a 3-star, the #177 safety, and #2008 overall.

Bracy is not a physical wonder by any means, but you’re unlikely to get freaks who were #2008 overall and just came from Memphis. What he has is three years of experience playing college football and playing pretty regularly, including ranking #3 on his team in tackles and #1 in pass breakups in 2025. Bracy should provide a veteran presence and a willingness to come up and tackle on the edge, whether it’s in the run game or on short passes. His deep speed and ability to cover is going to be the big question mark, but experience and knowledge can help overcome that at the safety spot.

Bracy should come in and either start or be a regular rotation player in Michigan’s secondary. With some young players rising and Rod Moore’s questionable health as he returns for a sixth year, there are a lot of moving parts at the safety spot for the Wolverines.

2024 Ex-Wolverine Coach Updates: Post-season

This is a whopper of a post. I tried to keep track of a lot of former Michigan coaches and players who are in the coaching ranks. It’s impossible to keep up with all of them, and surely there are a ton who are coaching high school football or maybe at the Division II or Division III level.

FORMER COACHES

John Baxter (Special Teams Coordinator, Fresno State): Baxter has been the special teams coach at Fresno since 2022.

Joe Bolden (Linebackers Coach, Ohio): Bolden was named the linebackers coach for the Ohio Bobcats for the 2024 season.

Adam Braithwaite (Assistant Safeties Coach, Cincinnati): Braithwaite spent 2024 as Samford’s defensive coordinator and was hired as an assistant safeties coach this off-season by the Cincinnati Bearcats.

Don Brown (Head Coach, UMass): Brown was fired after ten games with a 2-8 record this year and went 6-28 during his second stint there. He previously went 43-29 at UMass back when it was an FCS program.

2024 Ex-Wolverine Updates: Week 1

Here’s a roundup of the former Michigan player, former commits, and former coaches (or players-turned-coaches). NOTE: I will not regularly post updates about offensive linemen since stats are minimal and just posting PFF grades is kind of boring, but I did this week just to show who’s playing where and what their opening day role was.

FORMER PLAYERS

WR Andrel Anthony (Oklahoma): Anthony caught 1 pass for 4 yards in a 51-3 win over Temple. This was Anthony’s first game back after tearing his ACL last season.

LB Jeremiah Beasley (Missouri): Beasley made 1 tackle in a 51-0 win over Murray State.

QB Alan Bowman (Oklahoma State): Bowman completed 25/34 passes for 267 yards and 3 touchdowns in a 44-20 win over South Dakota State.

LB Semaj Bridgeman (Michigan State): Bridgeman did not record any stats in a 16-10 win over FAU.

Ex-Wolverine Coach Updates: Post-season 2022

During the season, I like to keep readers updated on what’s happening with former commits, players, and head coaches. But there’s not enough time – and it’s frankly not interesting enough – to keep up with all the former assistant coaches who are assistants elsewhere. So in the off-season, I like to do a little catching up on where former coaches are now. I am also including in this rundown a look at where some former Michigan players are now coaching, mostly in the college and professional ranks.

FORMER COACHES

Joe Bolden (Special Teams Coordinator/Defensive Assistant, Tulsa): Bolden spent one year as OLB coach and special teams coordinator for the Nevada Wolfpack and is now in a similar role at Tulsa, though he’s only listed as a “defensive assistant” and special teams coordinator.

Don Brown (Head Coach, UMass): Brown went 1-11 in the first season of his second stint as the head coach at UMass.

Anthony Campanile (Linebackers Coach, Miami Dolphins): Campanile is heading into his fourth year as the Dolphins’ linebackers coach.

Ross Douglas (Assistant Wide Receivers Coach, New England Patriots): Douglas is going into his second year as an assistant wide receivers coach for the Patriots.
