Shocking: former Michigan QB Announced His Return As Michigan Current QB Departed.

The Michigan football team has a lot of talent to replace from their national championship winning team. The Wolverines were the best of the best last season, and a big reason why is because the team was riddled with NFL talent. They have also lost players to the transfer portal and injury. One area that has a lot to replace is the secondary, and one player that seems to be making good strides this offseason is defensive back Jyaire Hill.

Jyaire Hill was a freshman last season and he didn’t get a ton of playing time, but he still did still get some action. He finished the year with eight total tackles, and four of them were solo tackles.

Now that the Michigan football team has to replace some talent, Hill will probably hear his name called a little bit more this season. The Wolverines did add some good players to the secondary via the transfer portal, but head coach Sherrone Moore has also been impressed with Hill.

“This kid, he’s got length, he’s got speed, he’s got athleticism, he’s fearless, he’ll tackle,” Sherrone Moore said during the In The Trenches podcast. “He’ll go make a play on the ball. He’s everything you want in a corner.”

The Michigan football team had one of the best defenses in college football last season, and their secondary was a big reason why. However, a lot of those players are gone now.

Mike Sainristil was the leader of the secondary last season, and he is now gone to the NFL. Josh Wallace is another key contributor from that group, and he is also in the NFL now. Keon Sabb and Rod Moore were both expected to be big pieces to the puzzle in 2024 as well. Sabb transferred to Alabama, and Moore recently tore his ACL.

Michigan will have arguably their best defensive player from last season and future first-round pick Will Johnson back in the secondary in 2024. Johnson is a star, and he is going to be the leader of this group this season.

The Wolverines lost a lot this offseason from the secondary, but it sounds like they are ready to reload for the 2024 season.

Michigan fans will like to hear that. They lost some stars in the secondary, and the Wolverines have a next man up mentality. Hill should start to see the field more next year.

The Ohio State football team, a beacon of success in college football history, has stacked numerous accomplishments over their storied tenure. The Buckeyes have consistently proven their elite status with eight national titles, 27 bowl victories, 105 weeks ranked top in the AP Poll, and six Heisman Trophy winners. Despite a challenging transfer portal window this year, they remain a force to be reckoned with, standing tall alongside the Georgia Bulldogs, Alabama Crimson Tide, and Michigan Wolverines.

However, according to Jacey Zembal of Rivals, Ohio State, alongside lowly Illinois and highly ranked Penn State, had the worst outcome via the portal’s spring window heading into the 2024 campaign. Zembal gave the three programs a C- for their efforts. Naturally, Ohio State fans quickly jumped on Zembal for showing little love to the Buckeyes.

The Ohio State football program had a quiet spring window of the transfer portal, with just one new addition heading to Columbus, Ohio. Former South Carolina corner Keenan Nelson Jr. joined the Buckeyes earlier this month. The six-foot-one defensive back failed to produce over the past two seasons but was a four-star recruit in the class of 2022. Departing Ohio State during the spring window was wideout Kyion Grayes II, running back Dallan Hayden, safety Cedric Hawkins, offensive lineman Enook Vimahi, and defensive back Ja’Jad Carter. Grayes failed to record a reception last year, while Hayden received only 19 carries. Meanwhile, Carter and Hawkins combined for five tackles in 2023.

With Ohio State’s losses this spring minimal and the prime additions signing during the winter period, Buckeyes fans were happy with the roster shakeup heading into the summer. However, after receiving a poor spring portal grade, OSU devotees took aim at Rivals on Twitter, also known as X.
