Michigan is bolstering its roster for the 2026 season with the transfer commitment of linebacker Max Alford from BYU. Alford spent the previous season with the Cougars, where he appeared in 10 games, tallying 21 tackles, including two for a loss, and a sack. His previous experience includes playing for Utah State from 2022.
Alford's addition makes him the 11th player to join the Wolverines via the transfer portal this offseason and their first linebacker. This move signals Michigan's intent to strengthen its squad as they aim to compete for a College Football Playoff spot under new leadership.
The NCAA has introduced a single transfer portal window for 2026, running from January 2 to January 16. This change aims to allow teams to finish their seasons before players enter the portal, with CFP participants having an extended window post-championship game.
