Their backup running back made an entry into the transfer portal for the Wolverines.
Michigan hasn’t experienced a high volume of transfers into the transfer portal like many other institutions have. The Wolverines have managed to keep their squad together going into the College Football Playoffs thus far.
Running back CJ Stokes is the only scholarship player from Michigan listed in the transfer portal thus far. Sam Staruch, the walk-on, has also accessed the gateway.
However, the Wolverines now have an additional means of accessing the transfer portal.
Walk-on running back Leon Franklin announced he would be entering the transfer portal, but would be staying with Michigan during the College Football Playoff.
