Michigan hasn’t experienced a high volume of transfers into the transfer portal like many other institutions have. The Wolverines have managed to keep their squad together going into the College Football Playoffs thus far.
Running back CJ Stokes is the only scholarship player from Michigan listed in the transfer portal thus far. Sam Staruch, the walk-on, has also accessed the gateway.
However, the Wolverines now have an additional means of accessing the transfer portal.
Franklin has been with the Wolverines since 2021 and has played in 29 games at Michigan. In 2021, he had eight carries for 33 yards. In 2022, he carried the ball four times for nine yards. And in 2023, Franklin had 11 carries for 33 yards and a score. He also had a receiving score in 2022.
The Wolverines have an abundance of running backs, and in the 2024 cycle, Michigan plans to add two more. Franklin is probably trying to find a new place where he can get more playing time.
Franklin is still eligible for two more years.
