Michigan football’s wide receiving production hasn’t exactly been stellar this season.
In terms of passing offense, the Wolverines are 130th out of 134 teams in college football, and the leading receiver is actually a tight end, as Colston Loveland has 56 catches for 582 yards in 10 games — more than double that of the leading nominal wide receiver.
That leading nominal wide receiver happens to be Tyler Morris, former high school teammate of J.J. McCarthy, who has 23 catches for 248 yards and two touchdowns. And, according to 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz, it appears that Morris’ days in Ann Arbor are numbered as he is expected to enter the transfer portal.

The Wolverines currently have three receivers coming into the fold via the 2025 recruiting class in four-stars Andrew Marsh and Jacob Washington, as well as three-star Jamar Browder. They are also targeting former Indiana WR Donaven McCulley via the transfer portal.
Whoever ends up coming or staying will likely be catching passes from a new quarterback in 2025 as No. 1 recruit and top quarterback Bryce Underwood is set to sign with the maize and blue while Michigan will also likely target another via the transfer portal.
