Michigan football has put together a solid transfer portal class. The Wolverines have added two offensive linemen, one who should start next season, and also two former top-100 defensive linemen, a former five-star running back and a productive Big Ten wide receiver.
The Wolverines still need to address the wide receiver position though. Donaven McCulley is a nice pickup and had 648 yards receiving for Indiana in 2023, but if he's in the running to be your No. 1 wide receiver, then the depth chart is underwhelming.
Michigan football does have some promising rising sophomores in Channing Goodwin and I'Marion Stewart, but they would have to take big leaps to become starting-level wide receivers next season. Fred Moore and Semaj Morgan are also expected back, along with Peyton O'Leary. Top-100 freshman Andrew Marsh could also make an impact, along with Jacob Washington, who is ranked in the top 200 of the 2025 class, but it's risky to rely too much on freshmen.
Former Clemson wideout Troy Stellato came off the board on Wednesday to Kentucky. That's another wide reciever that Michigan has missed on. Kaedin Robinson from App State would be a solid addition but he's visiting UCLA and USC. Michigan football might be running out of time there.
So, Tru Edwards, a former Louisiana Tech wideout, is another name that has emerged. He told EJ Holland of The Wolverine he "might" visit Ann Arbor. The Wolverines need to turn that might, into a visit.
Edwards is 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, and had 85 catches for 989 yards and six touchdowns last season. Whether it's Robinson who had 53 receptions for 840 yards last season, or Edwards, Michigan football needs at least one more wide receiver on this roster, probably two.
The Wolverines also need a cornerback to help fill the void of Will Johnson. There have been some misses there too but former Washington cornerback Thaddeus Dixon entered the portal, with one year left to play, and Michigan football is among the teams in the mix according to On3's Pete Nakos along with Ole Miss, Tennessee, North Carolina, and a possible return to Washington.
Dixon had 69 tackles, 16 pass breakups, and two interceptions over the past two seasons for Washington. At 6-foot-1, 186 pounds, Dixon is a four-star transfer and the No. 11 cornerback available in the transfer portal (via 247 sports). He is also ranked No. 111 overall.
There has been no word on visits yet.
