2026

Evan Hampton – RB – Owensboro (KY) Owensboro: Hampton is a 6’0″, 208 lb. running back with offers from Duke, Indiana, Louisville, North Carolina State, and Vanderbilt, among others. He’s a 4-star, the #26 running back, and #331 overall. He does not yet have an offer from Michigan but is hoping for one. As the Wolverines recruit elite runners Savion Hiter and Javian Osborne, it’s unclear how far Michigan will expand its recruiting board with their decisions still on the horizon. As a junior, Hampton ran 147 times for 1,349 yards (9.2 yards/carry) and 17 touchdowns. (Hampton is technically visiting on Monday, March 10.)

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.

TRANSFER PORTAL

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.

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.
