Michigan football is actively seeking reinforcements for its secondary, with one transfer portal prospect already present on campus Thursday and another potential visit planned for the future.
As spring ball wraps up, the Wolverines are focusing on shoring up key positions, especially in the defensive backfield.
While Michigan boasts a formidable roster, ranked highly in multiple spring polls, the quest for depth remains paramount for their championship aspirations. While internal player development is an avenue, experienced additions from the transfer portal could provide immediate impact.
One such prospect, Wesley Walker, formerly of Georgia Tech and Tennessee, is set to visit Michigan football this Thursday. With an impressive career stat line, Walker’s potential addition could bolster the safety position, crucial after recent departures and injuries.
Moreover, securing Walker might enable strategic lineup adjustments, such as deploying Zeke Berry in the nickel role, thus opening up opportunities for other defensive backs like Ja’Den McBurrows or Jyaire Hill.
In addition to Walker, Michigan is actively pursuing Terrance Brooks, previously with Texas. With significant starting experience and conference accolades, Brooks could seamlessly integrate into the Wolverines’ defensive scheme.
While Jaden Mangham remains an option at safety, Brooks emerges as a primary candidate for cornerback duties. His potential visit presents a promising opportunity for Michigan football to fortify its secondary, potentially adding multiple impactful contributors to the lineup.
