INCREDIBLE: I am overjoyed with my decision to attend Michigan. Michigan supporters are incredible… “I wouldn’t change anything.” The nation’s best five-star prospect has shocked the college football world by switching his pledge to the Michigan Wolverines, choosing the storied program in Ann Arbor over powerful rivals Alabama and Georgia.
The college football season never sleeps and that feels especially true for Michigan football.
After ending a frustrating season on the highest of high notes with an upset win over Ohio State in Columbus, the Wolverines have been busy looking to add some talent to replace some of their outgoing stars.
First, Michigan put together one of the best high-school recruiting classes in the country, landing the No. 9 class in the country, according to 247 Sports’ composite rankings, highlighted by Belleville standout quarterback Bryce Underwood.
But in today’s college football, recruiting prep players is only half of the recruiting work. The Wolverines and head coach Sherrone Moore (with a new offensive coordinator to sell to players) have been busy at work poaching players who have entered the transfer portal, with quite a few players heading out the door as well.
Most of the impact players who are leaving the Wolverines will be heading to the 2025 NFL draft, headlined by Mason Graham, Will Johnson and Colston Loveland among others.
There are players the Wolverines are losing in the transfer portal.
But here is who the Wolverines have brought in for 2025 through the transfer portal (with updates):
