Though the Wolverines have lost some players, including defensive backs Tevis and TJ Metcalf, the maize and blue have been gaining momentum with others. They had three additions on Sunday and persuaded safety Jordan Young to withdraw from the portal about a week after he entered.

Other QBs who are either in the portal or have already transferred include: Sam Leavitt (Arizona State), Dylan Raiola (Nebraska) and Drew Mestemaker (transferring from North Texas to Oklahoma State), all of whom will surely be getting a big payday from their new school.

Jayden Sanders, who started two games for the Wolverines as a true freshman in 2025, committed to Notre Dame on Monday.

Michigan football is now favored to land former Utah commit and four-star athlete Salesi Moa. Moa, who initially committed to Utah as a wide receiver, entered the transfer portal after enrolling. The Wolverines also offered Moa's brother, former Michigan State linebacker Aisea Moa.
