While paying Michigan a visit during the transfer portal window, former Michigan State DB Justin Denson announced he is heading to Purdue next year:

Purdue also landed former Michigan DB Jaden Mangham in the transfer portal.

Michigan has been very productive in the transfer portal for DBs having Zeke Berry and Jordan Young return, landing Smith Snowden and also getting Jyaire Hill to come back.
