The Michigan Wolverines might land a huge transfer or two this offseason. With sanctions already handed down to Ole Miss for recruiting violations (including another year of no bowl game), several key Ole Miss players are looking to transfer. The biggest one is QB Shea Patterson, who will visit Michigan this weekend along with a few other notable players.
Some big recruiting news: #Michigan is expecting to host talented #OleMiss QB Shea Patterson & OM safety Deontay Anderson on official visits this weekend, source tells me. And there might be more Rebels visiting Ann Arbor as well.

In addition to those two, Rivals reports that WR Van Jefferson will visit. Harbaugh met with Anderson earlier today.
Jefferson, Patterson and Anderson aren't the only notable players Ole Miss could. OL Greg Little could also elect to leave. Getting any of those players would be a huge get for head coach Jim Harbaugh.
Patterson was the No. 3 overall player in the 2016 recruiting class. He started seven games this season before getting hurt. He completed 63.8 percent of his passes for 2,259 yards, 17 TDs and nine INTs. Originally from Toledo, Patterson has been linked to Michigan frequently of late.
Jefferson is a former four-star recruit who caught 42 passes for 456 yards and a TD this year. He put up bigger numbers his freshman year, with 49 catches for 543 yards and three TDs. He picked Ole Miss over Michigan on Signing Day, so his interest in Michigan now makes perfect sense.
Anderson was an All-SEC freshman second-team player in 2016. He sat out this year after the Ole Miss sanctions. All three players will need to be cleared by the NCAA if they want to play immediately. With the sanctions imposed, there's a chance that happens.
