The transfer portal of officially humming and it's almost too much to keep up with. Teams across the country are losing pieces of their roster left and right and Michigan is no different. Throw in the fact that U-M is going through a coaching staff overhaul and you might see even more Wolverines jumping ship than normal.
So far, the Wolverines are just barely into double digits when it comes to defectors with 11 players announcing their intentions to transfer, but there are some key names on the list already.
S Jaden Mangham
The former Michigan State Spartan was at U-M for the last two seasons and really found a pretty nice role for himself in 2025. His first year in Ann Arbor was more of a learning experience as he saw action in just one game but this past season he played 350 snaps and in all 13 contests. He finished with 30 tackles including two for loss.
EDGE Devon Baxter
The former four-star prospect has been in Ann Arbor for two years but did not see action as a true freshman and did not play a snap in 2025 either according to Pro Football Focus.
OL Connor Jones
The 6-6, 320-pounder arrived in Ann Arbor back in 2022 and never really found a role. He appeared in just three games during his first three seasons and, while he did get onto the field in nine contests in 2025, it was almost entirely on special teams and in garbage time.
CB Zeke Berry
This one stings a bit as Berry had established himself as an every-down player for the Wolverines. He played the third-most snaps on the team with 562 and was an All-Big Ten selection by the media (second team) and the coaches (third team). He finishes his Michigan career with 74 tackles, including 3.5 for loss, and three interceptions.
OL Kaden Strayhorn
Strayhorn's departure is a little surprising as he was just a freshman and looked to be making his way into the two-deep at the very least. He has position versatility at both guard spots and at center and had bulked up to 308 pounds at 6-2. He shouldn't be viewed as an irreplaceable type of talent, but he definitely looked to be a future contributor on the offensive line.
RB Jasper Parker
With a crowded running back room that could get incredibly crowded if Justice Haynes surprises and decides to return, Parker likely saw the writing on the wall that indicated he would not be getting many touches. With Jordan Marshall expected to return, and five-star Savion Hiter on his way in, Parker simply didn't have enough skill to crack the two-deep. The 6-0, 205-pounder carried the ball 25 times for 93 yards and two scores during his true freshman campaign and should be able to find some carries elsewhere.
WR Semaj Morgan
The curious case of Semaj Morgan is just that — curious. After a promising true freshman campaign in 2023, he regressed, both as a receiver and as a returner. Unfortunately for Morgan, he likely wasn't getting the kind of coaching he needed over the past two seasons from now-fired special teams coach JB Brown and head coach Sherrone Moore. With a year of eligibility left, Morgan will likely move on to a smaller school and will probably be pretty productive.
LB Cole Sullivan
This is the one that hurts the most right now. Sullivan might return to Michigan but the fact that he's looking around should have U-M coaches and fans concerned as he'll like be one of the top overall targets in the portal. The true sophomore became one of Michigan's best overall defensive players in 2025 and it was noticeable when he wasn't on the field. He recorded 44 tackles, including five for loss and two sacks, during the 2025 season and also picked off three passes and recovered a fumble. He has a knack for making plays and always seems to be around the ball. Losing him would be a major blow for new defensive coordinator Jay Hill's unit.
CB Elijah Dotson
Dotson appeared in nine games during his true freshman campaign in 2025 and played 94 snaps. That's not a lot, but it's noteworthy for a young player. He finished with 11 tackles and an interception. It's also noteworthy that he's the former high school teammate of quarterback Bryce Underwood.
QB Davis Warren
Warren is an absolute warrior as a cancer survivor and also showed some real grit on the field last year as U-M's starting quarterback. He'll forever be remembered as the QB at the helm when Michigan beat Ohio State in Columbus as a three-touchdown underdog. He's got some ability so it'll be really interesting to see where he lands.
QB Jadyn Davis
Davis was viewed as a very nice get on the recruiting trail as a borderline five-star talent but he played in just one game as a true freshman last year. This year was obviously Bryce Underwood's show, so Davis only saw action in three games. He should be able to move on with at least three years of eligibility left.
