- Michigan football roster sees two players depart
It's the time of year when roster attrition takes place as teams earnestly embark upon the upcoming season. For Michigan football , two players appear to no longer be part of the program.
Having come aboard in 2024, CJ Charleston was a wide receiver from Youngstown State who had a great deal of promise. He saw action sparingly that season. In 10 games, he registered one catch for 22 yards. Last season, injuries precluded him from seeing the field.

Oklahoma running back Taylor Tatum , who was the top tailback in the nation in the 2024 recruiting class, came aboard via the transfer portal this offseason and promptly was moved to safety. There was little buzz about the former four-star after the move given Rod Moore 's return and Chris Bracy's transfer from Memphis.
As first reported by The Wolverine's Clayton Sayfie, both have departed the Wolverines .
With Charleston gone, Michigan will likely rely on some of its younger talent, including some transfers, at the position. At safety, more opportunities exist for players such as Kainoa Winston and Jacob Oden with Tatum's departure. Both are younger players who have yet to crack the rotation.
