Junior Jyaire Hill, the team’s No. 1 cornerback in 2025, signaled his return for 2026 in a social media post with the Michigan’s “LFG147” campaign. The two-year starter is one of nine key Wolverines to announce his return with that hashtag under new head coach Kyle Whittingham.

Looking ahead, Michigan is expected to remain active in the portal as spring practices approach, particularly at quarterback and along the offensive line. With Whittingham setting the tone early, the Wolverines appear intent on reshaping their roster sooner rather than later, and Moa could be another key piece in that foundation.

Alabama football has another piece in place for its 2026 offensive line. Multiple outlets reported Monday that a second offensive lineman from Michigan will join the Crimson Tide.

Michigan football continues to add offensive weapons, and the latest one is coming off a breakout freshman season.

Elisaia has been at Utah since 2006 with new Michigan head coach, Kyle Whittingham. Utah teams under Whittingham have been known for their strength and physicality, and Elisaia was a big part of that vision. Earlier this month, Whittingham talked about how important the strength program is to the success of a team.

Bracy started his career at UAB before transferring to Memphis, and he has two years of eligibility remaining. He'll team up with Rod Moore, Mason Curtis, Jordan Young (who announced his return on Monday after entering the portal), Jacob Oden, and Kainoa Winston in the safety room.
