With the spring session underway, the first Michigan Wolverine is entering the transfer portal in this cycle. According to his agent, offensive/defensive lineman Alessandro Lorenzetti intends to enter the portal and explore his options elsewhere.

The former three-star recruit was rated as the No. 1 player in the state of Connecticut during the 2022 recruiting cycle, but he never quite established himself as a contributor in Ann Arbor. Lorenzetti did not see any game action in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Here's a closer look at some of his accomplishments prior to arriving at the University of Michigan:

• Transferred from Selwyn House School in Québec, Canada, ahead of the 2020 season

Key Statistics

• Helped lead a unit that had multiple 300-yard rushing performances with 19 rushing TDs on the season
