Handful of former Wolverines would have had roles in 2023
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Michigan football has had no problem filling needs through transfers the last few seasons, but the portal is always give-and-take, so the program has also lost several players along the way.
Jim Harbaugh has added talented transfers such as Mike Danna, Olusegun Oluwatimi, and Eyabi Anoma over the years. This season, he expects production from Ernest Hausmann, Drake Nugent, LaDarius Henderson, Josiah Stewart, and others.
But for every player added through the portal, there’s one who leaves, and in this sense, Michigan is no different.
Former Wolverines are listed on rosters throughout college football, from Washington to Florida to Boston College. Some of those players were never going to contribute at Michigan, but others would have had major roles during the upcoming season.
On paper, this is the best team Harbaugh has had at Michigan, and the preseason rankings bear that out. The Wolverines are No. 2 in both the AP and Coaches polls, only behind two-time defending champion Georgia.
Returning players and incoming transfers are two top factors in those preseason expectations. But who will Michigan miss the most from the players no longer wearing Maize and Blue?
