Michigan Football Reaches Out To Former Tulane WR In Transfer Portal

The Wolverines have been in touch with the big wide receiver.

It's starting to become a theme for Michigan in this upcoming cycle. The Wolverines are looking to add a tall wide receiver to the room via the transfer portal. 

It started when Michigan offered Indiana wide receiver Donaven McCulley -- who ultimately went back to the Hoosiers. Recently, the Wolverines offered Wake Forest 6-foot-4 WR Jahmal Banks. And now, the Wolverines have been in contact with Tulane transfer Chris Brazzell. 

According to Hayes Fawcett, Michigan is one of 38 schools that have reached out to Brazzell.

Brazzell is a 6-foot-5, 195-pound receiver who committed to Tulane in the 2022 cycle. He has three years of eligibility remaining. Brazzell hails from Midland (TX) where he shined in high school. He finished his high school career with 104 catches for 1,596 receiving yards, and 21 touchdowns.

Brazzell had a redshirt year in 2022 but became the top option for Tulane this season. He led the Green Wave with 44 receptions for 711 yards and five touchdowns. Brazzell averaged 16.1 yards per catch. 

Michigan is set to lose Cornelius Johnson and almost certainly Roman Wilson as well. The Wolverines are looking to add big-bodied receivers to pair with Tyler Morris, Semaj Morgan, and others. 

According to 247Sports, Brazzell is the 48th-ranked prospect in the portal and the No. 10 WR.
