## Resource

Michigan’s football program navigated a rocky transition after Sherrone Moore’s exit, with Biff Poggi stepping in temporarily before Kyle Whittingham took over and stabilized the roster. Despite bringing in 18 transfers—10 of whom are poised to make major impacts in 2026—the team still lost key players like linebacker Cole Sullivan, who led the defense with 44 tackles and 3 interceptions despite limited starts. Losing such talent, even as new blood arrives, highlights the tough balancing act of rebuilding while maintaining momentum.
