A Major Utah Player Just Entered The Portal At A Position Of Need For Michigan

A major piece to Utah’s passing attack last season, freshman TE JJ Buchanon, has entered his name into the transfer portal:

This would be a biggie for the U-M passing game.

– JJ Buchanan as a true freshman last year at Utah: 26 catches, 427 yards, 5 TD (16.4 ypc)

– Marlin Klein, Zack Marshall, Hogan Hansen, Deakon Tonielli and Max Bredeson combined last season: 56 catches, 604 yards, 2 TD (11.2 ypc) https://t.co/Qh0ZYHuAaJ

With some uncertainty for the position, adding Buchanon would be a major addition to Michigan’s team.
