REPORT: Michigan Football Hosting Big-Time Transfer Portal Target

The Michigan Wolverines have one of the top rosters in the country, but there's one position they're still looking to upgrade heading into 2023.

It's a big week for the Michigan Football program, as the Wolverines host a big-time transfer portal target over the next two days. First reported by Josh Henschke of the Maize and Blue Review, Michigan will be hosting cornerback Josh Wallace from Thursday to Friday. 

Wallace, a 6-0, 190 pound senior out of UMass, recorded 41 tackles (32 solo, nine assisted), 3.0 TFL (four yards), a fumble recovery, two interceptions, and eight pass breakups during the 2022 season. The veteran corner also served as a team captain for two of his four years with the Minutemen. 

Although Michigan has a loaded roster heading into the 2023 season, there is still a big question mark at one of the cornerback positions opposite Will Johnson. There was some early buzz surrounding sophomore wideout-turned-corner Amorion Walker as a possible starter at the position, but it became clear during the spring game that he still needs time to develop in that role. 

Bringing in a veteran corner like Wallace would seemingly secure the final puzzle piece to what should be a national-championship caliber roster in 2023. There seems to be a strong belief that if the visit in Ann Arbor goes well this week, a commitment to Michigan will soon follow. 

UMass CB Josh Wallace has offers from multiple Big Ten teams - Penn State, Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan State - and would be one of the #B1G’s top DBs if he lands there.
