Michigan WR, special teams contributor opts for transfer portal
One Michigan wide receiver is heading to the transfer portal after the national title win.
According to Rivals, receiver Jake Thaw is heading to the portal after 4 seasons in the program. He did not see game action his first two seasons in the program but saw action throughout 2023 as a punt returner.

The veteran Thaw led Michigan with 16 punt returns this season, but Tyler Morris and Semaj Morgan came on late in the season. Morgan, a true freshman, looks primed for a key role at the position in spite of some miscues in the College Football Playoff.
Though he does play receiver, Thaw did not record a catch or a carry with the offense during his career. Best of luck to Thaw as he looks to the portal after winning a title with the Wolverines.
