Michigan football already has gotten one transfer portal defensive tackle in former Belleville (Mich.) and Alabama DT Damon Payne. The Wolverines are also targeting another Clemson player in wide receiver Tony Stellato.

Mason Mini, a tight end transfer with three years of eligibility remaining, has committed to Michigan State after spending two seasons at Idaho. A 6-foot-5, 240 pounder from Pacifica, California, Mini caught 5 passes for 61 yards in 2024.

Michigan football has had a ton of success traversing the transfer portal this cycle, but it perhaps doesn't feel like it to fans of the maize and blue, given that they've struck out on some of their top targets.
