It's been a long time coming that Michigan football had been hoping to get one of, if not its top targets in the fold via the transfer portal. And after weeks of waiting, the Wolverines officially got their guy.

Running back Justice Haynes, Alabama's third-leading rusher in 2024, has signed with Michigan, the school announced Friday.

Michigan has signed former Alabama running back Justice Haynes, the No. 1 rated tailback in the transfer portal during this winter cycle. The true sophomore and former five-star prospect is headed to Ann Arbor after two seasons in Tuscaloosa, and will have two seasons of collegiate eligibility remaining with the Maize and Blue.
