Michigan football lost a bit via the NCAA transfer portal this offseason, but now it’s finally gained something.
A big something.
In recent weeks, the Wolverines offered Oregon State defensive tackle Jordan Whitley, who only played one season for the Beavers after opting out in 2020 having come to Corvallis after going the JUCO route. Considering that the maize and blue need some beef in the middle of the new-look defense, getting a 6-foot-1, 358-pounder to play the nose in Mike Macdonald’s 3-4 scheme is crucial.
And on Friday, Whittley announced that he will be coming to Ann Arbor, as he committed to Michigan as a grad transfer.

In 2019, Whittley had 13 tackles and one pass deflected. He joins former Texas Tech quarterback Alan Bowman as the other transfer to join the Wolverines this offseason.
