The Michigan Wolverines are still hard at work trying to add critical pieces to their roster via the recruiting trail and the transfer portal ahead of the 2025

Though not a household name, Michigan managed to reel in UMass wide receiver Anthony Simpson who will come in as a grad transfer. Simpson only appeared in two games in 2024 but had 57 catches for 792 yards in 2023, showing he could be a leading wideout when tasked and healthy.

Michigan State, which posted a 5-7 record in Smith’s first season and lost 13 players to the portal, officially added 27 newcomers to the roster this week at the start of the spring semester. There are 11 early enrollees from the 2025 high school signing class and 16 transfers. “There was some positions of need. … We got that done,” Smith said.
