Michigan Wolverines face a pivotal offseason as the transfer portal shakes up both offense and defense. Key contributors like Jordan Young and Jyaire Hill choose to stay, boosting optimism, while losses such as Peyton O’Leary, TJ Metcalf, and Jayden Hood leave depth concerns. Blue-chip additions including wide receivers Jaime Ffrench and JJ Buchanan, plus quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi, have the offense looking dynamic and ready to build around star talents like Bryce Underwood and Jordan Marshall.

Isaiah Hole breaks down position battles, highlighting Michigan’s solid offensive line options and fierce running back competition, but raises urgent questions about the defensive two-deep, especially at linebacker and corner. As the Wolverines try to shore up thin spots and chase portal targets from programs like Oregon and Utah, does the defense have enough margin for error heading into the season? Get the inside scoop on roster moves, depth chart predictions, and what it will take for Michigan to stay atop the college football landscape.
