Michigan QB Jayden Denegal enters NCAA Transfer Portal

Michigan Wolverines quarterback Jayden Denegal has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3 has learned.

In 2023, Denegal saw limited game action, passing for 50 yards and a touchdown, completing four of his five pass attempts. He did not see any action during the 2024 campaign under Sherrone Moore.

Jayden Denegal played high school football at Apple Valley (CA), where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 494 overall recruit in the 2022 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Time will tell where Jayden Denegal ends up, but he’ll certainly be looking for some more burn wherever he goes in the future.

Moreover, Michigan will now be down a quarterback with Jayden Denegal entering the portal. He won’t play in Michigan’s bowl game against Alabama in the ReliaQuest Bowl.

Continuing, Michigan finished the season 7-5 with victories over rivals Michigan State and OSU, saving the best for last — a 13-10 win in Columbus. Just making a bowl game wasn’t the goal this year, but head coach Sherrone Moore said weeks ago it was critical for the development of the program and the younger players.

“I think it’s huge,” Moore stated. “It’s huge for the program, obviously playing another game, getting another chance to play with your team. but building on the future … getting more practices — it’s like another spring ball for the young guys. 

“It’s more football for the guys that keep getting better at football, so it’s huge for us and huge for the program.”
