Michigan’s football program has dipped into the transfer portal to land a new long snapper for 2025. UCLA’s Trent Middleton announced his commitment to the Wolverines on Thursday in a social media post. “Beyond blessed to say I have committed to the University of Michigan,” he wrote accompanied by a graphic of him in a Wolverines uniform.

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.

Michigan has had William Wagner for a few years now as a long snapper and he was one of the best in the country. But Wagner is now off chasing his NFL dreams and the Wolverines were left wondering who was going to step up in his role.

On Wednesday one of the Wolverines' unsung heroes, fullback Max Bredeson, made a decision on his future with the program. Widely known for his pancake blocks just past the line of scrimmage, Bredeson was immortalized in a viral social media of him having taken out Ohio State star Jack Sawyer with a crushing block.

Michigan football won't lose as much as it had going from the 2023 season where it won the national championship to 2024 as it will from 2024 to 2025, but still, it needs some continuity moving forward.

Michigan tight end/fullback Max Bredeson, voted a captain for the 2024 season, announced his intentions for next season with the Wolverines.
