TRANSFER PORTAL

Brice Pollock – CB – Mississippi State: Pollock is a 6’1″, 190 lb. corner who has played 22 games over his first two years in college. (He played alongside former Michigan safety Jordan Morant.) He made 48 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 interception, and 9 pass breakups as a sophomore in 2024. He was a 3-star, the #48 cornerback, and #467 overall. Despite bringing in a great defensive back class in 2025, Michigan needs to replace a couple starter-level players in Aamir Hall (graduation) and Will Johnson (likely leaving for NFL). UPDATE: Pollock’s visit plans seem to have fallen through.

Tevis Metcalf – S – Arkansas: Metcalf was a 5’10”, 192 lb. freshman this past season and made 1 tackle while playing in twelve games for the Razorbacks.

T.J. Metcalf – S – Arkansas: The other Metcalf is a 6’1″, 200 lb. rising junior who made 57 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 3 interceptions, and 7 pass breakups as a starting safety this past season. He was a 3-star, the #51 safety, and #541 overall in the class of 2023, when Michigan also recruited him.

Keeshawn Silver – DT – Kentucky: Silver is a 6’4″, 336 lb. nose tackle who spent two seasons at North Carolina before transferring to Kentucky. He was offered by Michigan out of high school. The 2022 season was his redshirt year and then he made 3 tackles while playing in three games in 2023. He made 26 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 sack, and 1 pass breakup this past season for the Wildcats and has two years of eligibility remaining.

Josh Thompson – OT – Northwestern: Thompson is expected to visit Michigan on Monday, December 16. The fifth year transfer from Fenton (MI) Fenton was a 3-star and the #1283 player in the class of 2021, garnering mostly MAC offers and then the Northwestern offer that he accepted. He started ten games at right guard this past season and started eleven games at right tackle in 2023. He garnered a PFF grade of 74.9 as a guard in 2024.

Jordan White – C – Liberty: White is a 6’2″, 300 lb. interior lineman who was on the Rimington and Outland watch lists prior to the 2024 season. He originally signed with WVU in 2020 and sat on the sideline for most of 2020 and 2021 before starting three games in 2022; he then transferred to Liberty, where he posted a grade of 72.1 starting every game at center in 2023, and then started at left guard in 2024, earning an 82.2 grade from PFF. He has one year of eligibility remaining.

2026

Jackson Cantwell – OT – Nixa (MO) Nixa: Cantwell is a 6’7″, 300-pounder who is the #1 overall prospect for his class. He has offers from Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Missouri, and Oregon, among others.

Andrew Babalola

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. He’s a 4-star, the #24 edge, and #279 overall. This is an official visit to Ann Arbor and he has a visit lined up for Oregon next weekend.

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.
