In the spring window of the college football transfer portal, Michigan football needs to seek two players.
The 2023 college football season ended with the Michigan football team raising the national championship trophy at NRG Stadium in Houston, and it seems like that was only yesterday. Though it was more than three months ago, the 2024 season’s preparations are already well under way. Teams are playing their spring games, and the most difficult portion of the offseason is over. The Wolverines will appear drastically different during their spring game on Saturday.
The Michigan football team from the previous season was incredibly talented, and they may break the record for the most players picked by a single university in a single year. The Wolverines were led by veterans on that team, and as a result, they took home a national title. They need to rebuild things, though, as they are now losing almost all of that team’s output.
In addition to losing the majority of their national championship squad in terms of players, Michigan also lost a very different coaching staff. Although Jim Harbaugh won a national championship for his alma institution, as an NFL head coach he was never able to win a Super Bowl. He still has it as his objective, and he is currently the Los Angeles Chargers’ head coach.
Not just Jim Harbaugh departed from Michigan. He took a large group of coaches with him to the NFL, so the staff the Wolverines have now is drastically different. This Michigan football squad is entirely different, both in terms of players and coaching.
The Wolverines have Sherrone Moore as their new head coach. Due to Harbaugh’s two separate bans from the previous season, he did manage to coach four games. Now that the position is formally his, he is effectively beginning anew.
With the departure of the majority of last year’s starting lineup, Michigan football players have a lot of starting roles to earn this season. Although players from the previous season are vying for those positions, the Wolverines should also be considering a few players via the transfer site. Here are two things to watch out for.
