Michigan Wolverines news: A major departure from the transfer portal and a staff reorganization….

Prior to Friday morning, Michigan football had not lost any significant players to the transfer portal. However, that changed when former top-100 safety Keon Sabb declared that he would be leaving the Michigan Wolverines in order to use the portal.

This past season, Sabb recorded 28 tackles and two interceptions for the Michigan football team. In the national championship game, he additionally had a crucial pass breakup.

Although Sabb wasn’t officially a starter for the Michigan Wolverines at safety, he was expected to play a more significant part this season and may have played a lot of snaps in a huge nickel role. I was hoping to see that, but Sabb is going to pursue other opportunities with his talents.

This emphasizes even further how Michigan football has to bolster its secondary by adding some quality through the transfer portal. Rod Moore and Makari Paige are back, so safety isn’t an urgent necessity, but the Wolverines still need a No. 2 corner and someone who can play in the slot.
