A 7-5 season isn't what Michigan football fans had in mind after winning a national title last season, but the last month of the season has provided plenty of room for optimism. Sherrone Moore and the Michigan NIL collective were able to flip Class of 2025 No. 1 overall recruit Bryce Underwood from LSU and closed out their season with a win over Ohio State on the road. Now, the expectation is for Moore to get Michigan back into the College Football Playoff picture in 2025, but the Wolverines will need more help.
They're working the college football transfer portal aggressively and still have until February to add to a Michigan football recruiting class that ranks top 10 nationally according to 247Sports. Who are the top Michigan football recruiting targets and how can Moore continue to build around Underwood?

Michigan football transfer portal news, preview
In addition to adding Underwood in the Class of 2025, Michigan is also working the college football transfer portal to add experience at quarterback this offseason. One Michigan transfer portal target that has already been identified is former Toledo and Baylor quarterback DeQuan Finn.
The Detroit product threw for 7,083 yards and 63 touchdowns while also rushing for 1,841 yards and 25 touchdowns during his time at Toledo and then he accounted for five touchdowns and 383 yards of total offense in three games with the Bears last season. Moore was pushing to get Finn on campus earlier this week and hope he can help foster a competitive atmosphere at QB in 2025.
Protection will also be a key and Michigan has thrown its hat in the ring for North Carolina offensive tackle Howard Sampson's services. The transfer started all 12 games at left tackle for the Tar Heels last season and earned honorable mention All-ACC honors. New Michigan offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey coached Sampson at UNC and gives the Wolverines an obvious in for the redshirt junior.
