NCAA NEWS: Fans want Michigan to go after transfer portal WR with numerous appeal to head coach Jim Harbaugh

The Michigan Wolverines are the nation’s top team, but if they want to keep that title in 2024, they’ll need to replace key members who are leaving for the NFL. Roman Wilson and Cornelius Johnson, Michigan’s top two wideouts, will both enter the NFL Draft in 2024.

This week’s SB Nation Reacts asked Michigan supporters what positions the team should pursue in the transfer portal.
48 percent of supporters want Michigan to pursue a receiver, 29 percent want them to target a cornerback, and 16 percent want them to target a quarterback.

Michigan is interested in transfer receivers such as Indiana’s Donovan McCulley and Wake Forest’s Jahmal Banks. Michigan offered McCulley a scholarship, and Banks will visit Michigan in January. This season, McCulley, who is 6-foot-5, recorded 48 receptions for 644 yards and six touchdowns. Banks had 59 catches for 653 yards and four touchdowns.
247Sports thinks Michigan and Alabama schools “worth keeping an eye on” for cornerbacks, citing former USC CB Domani Jackson. According to JPGCFB, the Wolverines have also contacted former UConn CB CB Mumu Bin-Wahad.

Michigan contacted former UCLA quarterback Dante Moore, but Moore has now committed to Oregon. Whether Michigan starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy stays for his senior season or joins the NFL Draft, the Wolverines will almost certainly add a gateway quarterback, as has become the norm under Jim Harbaugh.
Michigan fans were also polled to determine whether they believe high school recruitment or the transfer portal is more significant to the Wolverines.
The majority of fans, 67 percent, believe that high school recruitment and using the portal are equally vital, while 24 percent believe that high school recruiting is the only way to proceed. Only 9% believe the transfer portal is more important.
