Michigan football had a loaded running backs room on paper, but it’s continuing to thin out a bit in between the end of the regular season and the offseason.
The Wolverines will lose Donovan Edwards and Kalel Mullings as their eligibility runs out, and Tavierre Dunlap and Cole Cabana both entered the transfer portal following the 13-10 win over Ohio State. Cabana, who hails from nearby Dexter, Michigan, has been oft injured in his short tenure as a Wolverine, and it turns out he’s looking to get fresh new life with another Big Ten program.
According to 247Sports, Cabana will continue to pursue his career after transferring to Minnesota.
The #Gophers have landed a commitment from Michigan running back transfer Cole Cabana.
Cabana was a four-star prospect in the 2023 class, and will have three years to play at Minnesota.@AllenTrieu with the story: https://t.co/BkkksxODDc pic.twitter.com/wTFvX2pOMS

Cabana has not played any meaningful snaps in his Michigan career. Despite having been on the roster for two years, he’ll have at least three years of eligibility with the Gophers and could potentially receive four, depending on if he looks to seek to reclaim one of the years with a medical redshirt.
