Michigan junior quarterback Jayden Denegal will enter the transfer portal

Michigan junior quarterback Jayden Denegal will enter the transfer portal, he reported on social media early Monday morning. The California native will have two years of eligibility remaining after playing sparingly at U-M.
A 6-5, 235-pounder, Denegal played in one game during mop-up duty in 2022 and six more last season, completing 4-of-5 passes with one touchdown. He also ran four times for 10 yards to earn his second varsity letter, but he didn’t register any statistics this year.
“I have loved my time at the University of Michigan,” Denegal wrote in his goodbye. “I have had an opportunity to develop in one of the most iconic football programs in the nation, and while I am a Wolverine through and through, I have decided to enter the portal. I have two years of eligibility and it is my desire to showcase my talents and skills on the football field on Saturdays.
