The transfer portal has changed the way college football rosters are built, and Michigan has felt that churn as much as anyone. A handful of former Wolverines are now scattered across the country, and several of them are producing in new spots this season.
Warren, a former starting quarterback for Michigan, moved to the ACC for his final year of eligibility and has settled in quickly with the Cardinal. He’s already put together a career-high 1,207 passing yards while starting five games, and he’s been steady with the football, tossing five touchdowns against just one interception. With the Wolverines, Warren was more of a game manager, and the fit he found elsewhere lines up better with what he does best.
At linebacker, Sullivan was one of Michigan’s top tacklers in 2025 and looked like a tough departure when he entered the portal. The Sooners haven’t gotten much out of him so far, though, and he even missed their most recent game against Georgia.
When Michigan and Oklahoma met on Sept. 12, Sullivan finished with one assisted tackle, and he’s only appeared in two games this season.
Morgan spent so long at Michigan as a receiver and key special teams contributor that it felt like he’d been around forever. After transferring within the Big Ten, he’s putting together the best season of his college career.
Through four games, he has 14 catches for 174 yards and two touchdowns. He’ll get a shot to return to The Big House later this year when the Bruins visit Ann Arbor on Nov.
Cabana left Michigan a couple of seasons ago and got a look at the Wolverines in the opener, but the move to Kalamazoo still hasn’t produced much. A member of the national championship team, he headed there because of the crowded backfield in Ann Arbor. This season, the 5-11 running back has only 19 yards on nine carries, though he did score against Boise State.
Moore spent three seasons with Michigan before heading to in-state rival MSU, and he’s made that move count in 2026. In five games, he has 122 receiving yards and a touchdown. He’ll also be back at Michigan Stadium on Nov. 7 when the Wolverines and Spartans meet.
Dotson rounds out the group after serving as a rotational defensive back for Michigan in the 2025-26 season. He transferred to Mizzou after just one year in Ann Arbor, and he’s already outpaced his tackle total from last season. Through five games, with two starts, Dotson has 18 tackles.

Urban Meyer Just Added Fuel To Michigans Biggest Early Debate
Michigans uneven start has already turned the spotlight toward what is going wrong in Ann Arbor, and the latest outside critique only sharpened the conversation. At 3-2, with losses to Iowa and Minnesota fresh in the record, the Wolverines are searching for answers in a season that has not matched the standards the program usually demands. Former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, now working as a college football analyst, added his own blunt read on the situation, saying on a podcast that he sees a team lacking passion, energy and toughness.
Meyers comments land at a moment when every issue around Michigan seems to be getting magnified, especially the quarterback debate. He also suggested Bryce Underwood has taken too much of the blame for the teams broader problems, a familiar theme when a struggling offense starts to wear the criticism. The larger question hanging over the Wolverines is whether their issues are about one player, one side of the ball or something more fundamental, and Meyers assessment only made that early-season argument louder.

The announcement also lays out the preseason, regular season, Big Ten tournament and NCAA tournament portions of the schedule, so fans can start mapping out a season that will be watched far beyond Ann Arbor.

Michigan Has Two Big Ten Stars And Fans Will Debate What It Means
Preseason lists always invite arguments, and Michigan has already landed squarely in the middle of one with two players among the Big Tens projected best for 2026-27. Trey McKenney and Elliot Cadeau both made the top five in an early conference ranking that looks back at last seasons production and ahead to the roles each is expected to take on when the new year arrives.
For Wolverines fans, the appeal is obvious: one standout list gives them not just a single building block, but two, with different skill sets and different paths to influence. It also sets up the familiar debate that comes with any preseason honor roll, especially in a league with names like Pryce Sandfort, David Mirkovic and Jeremy Fears Jr. in the mix, because being recognized now is one thing and living up to it when the games count is another.
