Report: Michigan RB Tavierre Dunlap expected to enter NCAA transfer portal

Michigan RB Tavierre Dunlap is expected to enter the NCAA transfer portal, according to a report from CBS Sports. He appeared in all 12 games this season, largely contributing on special teams.

Dunlap scored his first career touchdown this season, finding the end zone against Northwestern in Week 13 on his lone carry. He also recovered an onside kick against Michigan State and served as a kick return option for Michigan during the year.

All told, during his four years in Ann Arbor, Dunlap took 22 carries for 138 yards, along with that lone touchdown. He mostly made his impact on special teams and will have one year of eligibility remaining.

Tavierre Dunlap played high school football at Del Valle (Texas), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 480 overall player and No. 35-ranked running back from the 2021 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Dunlap is one of two Michigan players known to be entering the portal before the window opens next week. Wide receiver Tyler Morris is also expected to transfer after the Wolverines’ 7-5 record in Year 1 under Sherrone Moore – capped by a rivalry victory over Ohio State to end the regular season.

However, more changes are coming in Ann Arbor. Moore announced the program is moving on from offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell after a rough go in 2024. Michigan ranked 17th in the Big Ten in total offense, averaging 294.3 yards per game, and the Wolverines’ 133.6 passing yards per game was also the second-lowest average in the conference.

“After a thorough assessment of our offense, I made the decision to relieve Kirk Campbell of his duties and move in a different direction,” Moore said. “This was a decision that I felt was in the best interest of our football program. I want to thank Kirk for his hard work and dedication to the university, Michigan Football and our student-athletes. I wish him well in his future coaching endeavors.”
