Sherrone Moore is losing his first player since being named the head coach on Saturday. While it’s not a starter (or even a rotation player) it was one on scholarship who had once been thought of quite highly.
Reece Atteberry came to Ann Arbor in 2020 as a promising offensive lineman. He was thought at one point to be the center of the future. However, the Aurora (Colorado) Eaglecrest interior lineman was moved to guard before making an offseason switch to defensive line last year. He received some snaps in garbage time but never really cracked the rotation.
According to On3’s Pete Nakos, Atteberry has entered the transfer portal and will search for an opportunity elsewhere.

Atteberry played 122 snaps in 2023, mostly on special teams. He redshirted in 2022 and will have two years of eligibility remaining at his next school.
As a recruit, Atteberry was a three-star ranked No. 438 in the country according to 247Sports.
