The addition of the transfer portal has rapidly changed the landscape of college football. There’s no denying that. Some teams use it to completely overhaul their roster (a.k.a. Colorado) while other teams choose to pretend that it doesn’t exist (looking at you, Dabo Swinney). Michigan has been somewhere in the middle, opting to use the portal to fill in roster gaps while not overly relying on it.
This past offseason, Michigan lost 13 players to the portal. A.J. Henning has settled in nicely at Northwestern, as the Wildcats could afford to give him the playing time he desired.
