Now that Kyle Whittingham is in charge, the Michigan Wolverines can get back to being one of the better teams in the Big Ten. Whittingham did extraordinary things leading the Utah Utes for two decades. Now that he will have better resources at Michigan, there is no telling how good next year's team can be under his guidance. He is about to make his mark on this team by way of the portal here.
Chris of 247Sports shared that North Texas transfer Wyatt Young is scheduled to come to Ann Arbor.

Looking at his stats from this past season, Young was every bit the playmaker in the high-octane passing offense of Eric Morris over in Denton. He had 70 receptions for 1,264 yards and 10 touchdowns. He ranked third in the country in yardage. Although the Mean Green were especially one-dimensional on offense, Young was the primary target that Drew Mestemaker found all the time.
Because Utah often used the transfer portal under Whittingham's watch, look for him to be so active.

The interesting part in Young showing a lot of interest in Michigan is it does not seem like it is a foregone conclusion that he will follow Morris to Stillwater to join his first Oklahoma State Cowboys team. While the Pokes were playing in a Big 12 Championship game not that long ago, it really hit the fan under Mike Gundy's watch during his final year and change leading his alma mater. It needs work...
So after playing for a College Football Playoff berth in the AAC Championship Game vs. Tulane, Young may want to experience something closer to that in his next collegiate stop. Michigan is much closer to contending in the Big Ten than Oklahoma State is right now in the Big 12. It may be a mass exodus out of Denton, but that is just the nature of the beast within the context of how the sport works today.
Ultimately, Young's ability to get open and move the chains should work out wonderfully for Michigan's soon-to-be evolving passing game. Yes, he will be going up against better defenders if he were to commit to Michigan. However, he has a chance to play with better players as well if he were to suit up for the Wolverines. Other teams may want him, but the idea of him playing for them is strong.
Right now, we will have to wait and see what happens to Young and where he decides to commit to.
