Michigan football got something of a two-for-one special with its second and third transfer portal commitments of the 2025 cycle.
The Wolverines had previously only brought in one transfer portal commit in former Indiana wide receiver Donaven McCulley — who had visited in the immediate aftermath of the Ohio State game on Dec. 1. It took him nearly two weeks to make his decision, but the latest pledges came shortly after their weekend visit to Ann Arbor.
Arkansas had two defensive backs with wandering eyes, brothers who both play defensive back in T.J. Metcalf and Tevis Metcalf. Just one day after their visit to see what the maize and blue have to offer, both brothers committed in a joint announcement by On3’s Hayes Fawcett.
