The Michigan Wolverines have already ended their season, which culminated in a loss to Texas at the Citrus Bowl. This also means that some players will be leaving and entering the transfer portal. There are some big names expected to leave, especially given that there is an expected coaching change for the Wolverines after former head coach Sherrone Moore was fired for an illicit relationship with a staffer.
With that, Kyle Whittingham is expected to bring in some more players to Ann Arbor via the transfer portal as well, but what about those who will be leaving? Which Michigan players have been confirmed to enter the transfer portal as it opens today, Jan. 2?
Michigan Players Who Have Announced That They Are Entering the Transfer Portal
- LB Cole Sullivan
- CB Elijah Dotson
- QB Davis Warren
- QB Jadyn Davis
- WR Fredrick Moore
- OL Connor Jones
The two biggest names that are leaving Michigan are linebacker Cole Sullivan, an elite defensive player who shined in the Citrus Bowl despite the loss to Texas. The other is former starting quarterback Davis Warren, who was the starting QB for the team in 2024 but lost his position with the team.
During the Citrus Bowl, Warren announced that he will be entering the transfer portal as he still has two years of eligibility left. Meanwhile, Sullivan said he had a “great meeting” with incoming head coach Kyle Whittingham but stated that he wanted to keep his options open, though he reportedly admitted that he really likes “what he’s bringing to this team and this program.”
Another big hit is freshman Elijah Dotson, who was a teammate of Bryce Underwood at Belleville, and he was one of the most promising recruits Michigan had last year, being the No. 2 recruit in Michigan, the No. 11 defensive back in the country and No. 131 player in the Class of 2025.
Another player that Michigan will be losing was the quarterback once dubbed as the heir apparent to J.J. McCarthy, Jadyn Davis, who has not really shined despite being a Top 10 quarterback from the Class of 2023, with Michigan not using him as much as the others.
