This probably won’t be as regular of a thing as a normal high school recruiting update, but I think it might be helpful and informative to occasionally take a look at the transfer portal and any rumblings that might be emanating from said portal.
We are on the cusp of “free agency” in college football, where basically any player can transfer once and be eligible for his new team next fall. With Michigan having a lot of roster holes – and there will be more holes coming soon – I will discuss here some potentially viable options, or at least options that Michigan fans might find interesting.

COMMITMENT
Memphis (TN) Lausanne running back Eric Gray committed to Michigan (LINK).
Stuart (FL) Martin wide receiver George Johnson III committed to Michigan (LINK).
OFF THE BOARD
Fort Lauderdale (FL) St. Thomas Aquinas safety Jordan Battle committed to Ohio State.
Pickerington (OH) Central defensive tackle DeWayne Carter, Jr. committed to Duke. This is the same school that sent Taco Charlton to Michigan, but I don’t think the Wolverines were pursuing him very hard.
