Sad News: 5 players departed Michigan Wolverines just now…

Michigan Wes football has seen 16 scholarship players enter the NCAA transfer portal since the beginnolverining of December, and 15 have chosen new schools.

OL Raheem Anderson: Western Michigan

Offensive lineman Raheem Anderson played in 16 games over the last four seasons, but never when any games were in doubt. He never quite emerged near the top of the depth chart or as a top contender for a starting job, even if he was technically in the two-deep this season.
Eligibility remaining: One year

OL Tristan Bounds: Arizona

Offensive lineman Tristan Bounds saw action in seven games over four seasons, never once vying for a starting job. He could earn time at Arizona, though, which is set to replace starting tackle Jonah Savaiinaea.

RB Cole Cabana: Western Michigan

A former four-star recruit, running back Cole Cabana appeared in only one game in his two seasons at Michigan. He originally committed to Minnesota out of the portal but flipped to Western Michigan, where his path to playing time will be much easier.
Eligibility remaining: Three years

QB : SaJayden Denegaln Diego State

Signal-caller Denegal  was buried on the depth chart, even amidst a weak quarterback room this season. Three different Wolverines started at the position during the 2024 regular season, but Denegal wasn’t one of them. At best, he was third string at some point this year. He appeared in just one game in a winged helmet, a 2023 win at Nebraska when he went 4-of-5 passing for 50 yards and a touchdown.

The Apple Valley, Calif., native is set for a fresh start closer to home.

“We’re going to put up a lot of numbers,” Denegal told the San Diego Union Tribune. “We’re going to get some more receivers here and we’re going to throw the ball around the yard. We’re going to get running backs and we’re going to tote the pill.”
Eligibility remaining: Two years
