TRANSFER PORTAL

Pat Coogan – C – Notre Dame: Coogan is a 6’5″, 310-pounder who has spent most of the past two seasons starting for the Fighting Irish. A fifth year senior, he was a starting guard in 2023 and a starting center in 2024, earning grades of 66.1 and 72.1, respectively, from Pro Football Focus. Initially slated to be a backup at center in 2024, he ended up starting most of the year due to an injury to the starter. Coogan was expected to be a backup again in 2025 despite playing over 1,500 snaps in the past two seasons, so he hit the transfer portal for his one remaining season of eligibility. He was a 3-star, the #42 interior offensive lineman, and #613 overall coming out of Chicago (IL) Marist in 2021. UPDATE: Coogan committed to Indiana and will no longer be visiting Michigan.

2025

Andrew Babalola – OT – Overland Park (KS) Blue Valley North: Babalola is committed to Michigan (LINK).

Jayvan Boggs – WR – Cocoa (FL) Cocoa: Boggs is a 6’2″, 200 lb. prospect who has been committed to UCF since August 2024; he also has offers from Florida State and Missouri, both of which he visited officially. Michigan offered Boggs this past week after seeing him live last week; head coach Sherrone Moore and offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell were both at his game last Friday watching 2026 quarterback commit Brady Hart, Boggs’s teammate. Boggs is a 4-star, the #30 wide receiver, and #231 overall. This is an official visit. UPDATE: Boggs is no longer planning to visit.

Shamari Earls – CB – Chester (VA) Thomas Dale: Earls is committed to Michigan (LINK). This is an official visit.

Tobi Haastrup – DE – Houston (TX) Mayde Creek: Haastrup is a 6’4″, 230-pounder with offers from Florida State, Michigan, Oregon, Texas Tech, and USC, among others.

2025

Triston Abram – DE – St. Louis (MO) Christian Brothers: Abram is a 6’4″, 225-pounder who has been committed to Indiana. His offer list isn’t exceptional, but he’s a 3-star, the #52 edge, and #648 overall in the 2025 class. Michigan needs to replenish its edge rusher talent since Josaiah Stewart and Derrick Moore could both be off to the NFL without much proven depth behind them.

Jamar Browder – WR – Lake Worth (FL) Santaluces: Browder is a 6’3″, 205 lb. prospect who has been committed to North Carolina State. This is his second visit to Ann Arbor this season even though he’s still verbally pledged to NCSU. Browder is a 3-star, the #119 wide receiver, and #793 overall. This is an official visit.

Elijah Dotson – CB – Belleville (MI) Belleville: Dotson is committed to Pitt and has been since May, but Michigan has ramped up its efforts and is recruiting him as an “athlete” who could play offense or defense. He’s a 6’2″, 175-pounder who could play WR, CB, or S and is ranked as a 4-star, the #29 safety, and #296 overall in the 247 Composite. Dotson was at U of D Jesuit in Detroit for his first few years of high school, so he’s getting a little more attention now that he’s at the powerhouse in Belleville.

Christian Ingram – DT – Conyers (GA) Newton: Ingram is a 6’6″, 290-pounder with offers from Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, South Carolina, Vanderbilt, and others. This is an official visit to Ann Arbor, but he has other officials coming up, including to Georgia. Ingram is a 247 Sports 3-star and the #76 defensive lineman in the 2025 class.

TRANSFER PORTAL

Donaven McCulley – WR – Indiana: McCulley is a 6’5″, 203 lb. former quarterback who transitioned to receiver at Indiana. He entered the transfer portal in the off-season and was courted by Michigan, but he was convinced to rejoin Indiana’s squad. After not being a major factor early in the year (2 catches, 21 yards, 1 TD in the first five weeks), he decided to re-enter the transfer portal and is now considering Michigan again. UPDATE: McCulley visited Virginia Tech and may visit Michigan later, but did not come to Ann Arbor this weekend.
