More detailed Comprehensive UPDATED LIST:
The 6-foot-4, 310-pound center appeared in 18 games, which did include three on defense, and had his first five career starts to begin this past season. He beat Greg Crippen in a battle for the starting role out of camp, but after a slow offensive start, U-M switched to Crippen, and Giudice only played on special teams beyond that, except during mop-up time in a blowout vs. Northwestern. Giudice has two years of eligibility remaining.
P Tommy Doman (New School: Florida)
Tommy Doman, a 6-foot-4, 215-pound senior punter from Rochester Hills (Orchard Lake Saint Marys) Doman, was named All-Big Ten third team in 2023 when he averaged 44.3 yards per punt. However, he took a notable step back as a senior. He averaged just 42.6 yards per attempt this past season, and that was buoyed by the final punt of his U-M career, a booming 68-yard kick aided by the wind at the Horseshoe in Columbus, which helped flip the field in a key moment during the Wolverines' 13-10 win over Ohio State. His net average of 37.3 yards per kick was 15th out of 18 qualified punters in the Big Ten.
RB Cole Cobana (New School: WMU)
Cole Cabana, a former star running back at Dexter who was rated the No. 172 overall player in the Class of 2023 and No. 10 player at his position in the country per 247 Sports composite rankings. U-M's backfield proved to largely be a two-man tandem of seniors Kalel Mullings and Donovan Edwards, and when they weren't getting run, it was three other underclassmen in Ben Hall, Jordan Marshall, and Micah Ka'apana who got to see the field. Cabana had two carries for six yards in 2023 but did not see the field in 2024.
Bounds is 6 feet 8 and 305 pounds from Bethesda, Maryland. He contributed on special teams in two games this season and one in 2023 and appeared in three blowout wins along the offensive line in 2022.
Bounds announced his intention to transfer on Dec. 4.
U-M's special teams expert, Boivin, is a 6-foot, 225-pound linebacker out of Traverse City (Traverse City West). He finished his senior year with appearances in nine games after battling an undisclosed injury in October and November. Boivin blocked a punt while playing on special teams against Minnesota in late September and had 34 snaps on kick coverage, 35 on kick return, 32 on punt coverage, and 38 on punt return this season. Boivin played in 15 games as a junior, including four on defense, when he made nine tackles and blocked a punt that was recovered for a touchdown. Boivin, a walk-on in 2021, has one year of eligibility remaining.
"I'd like to thank the University of Michigan for the best 4 years of my life and experiences that I can never forget," Anderson posted on Dec. 4. "I also want to thank Coach Harbaugh, Coach Moore, Coach Herb, Coach Newsome, and the entire coaching for pouring into me lessons and teachings that I will carry for life. To my teammates, I can now consider my brothers; I love you guys and am happy that I could call you family for these past four years. I am grateful that I was able to build bonds that will last a lifetime, and I look forward to seeing everyone succeed in life."
Leading receiver Tyler Morris announced on Dec. 3 that he was going to enter the transfer portal. The junior led U-M wideouts in receptions (23), yards (248), and touchdowns (two) in an underwhelming third campaign in Ann Arbor. "After much consideration, I have decided to enter the transfer portal with one year of eligibility remaining," Morris posted on social media. "This was not an easy decision, but I am excited for what the future holds. "To my coaches, teammates, and staff at the University of Michigan. I am incredibly grateful for the friendships and memories that I have shared with my brothers on and off the field." Morris, best known for his touchdown reception in January's College Football Playoff semifinal at the Rose Bowl, finishes his Michigan career with 39 catches for 470 yards and three touchdowns.
