Breaking News: Michigan secures commitment from a transfer player for their offensive line.

In a Thursday morning announcement on his social media platforms, former Northwestern offensive lineman Josh Priebe revealed his commitment to Michigan through the transfer portal. Priebe becomes the Wolverines’ second transfer portal acquisition this off-season, joining fellow standout Jaishawn Barham from Maryland in the Big Ten.

Anticipating potential departures from interior linemen Zak Zinter, Trevor Keegan, and Drake Nugent, the addition of Priebe provides Michigan with a valuable player. This comes as Sherrone Moore and his team navigate the changes in their roster, with players like Giovanni El-Hadi, Greg Crippen, Raheem Anderson, and Amir Herring expected to return.

The NCAA transfer portal for the 2024 college football season officially opened, initiating a cycle that began on December 4 and will conclude on January 2, 2024, for FBS transfers. While some players signaled their intention to transfer before this period, they could only formally enter the portal once it officially commenced.

With thousands of FBS players entering the transfer portal each cycle and the advent of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) adding a new dimension to player recruitment, the upcoming offseason is poised for significant player movement. This period has evolved into one of the crucial phases on the college football calendar, marked by substantial transfers and strategic acquisitions.
