Memphis DB transfer Christopher Bracy commits to Michigan

Memphis DB transfer Christopher Bracy has committed to Michigan out of the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned. Bracy had a breakout season for the Tigers in 2025.

He was a redshirt sophomore for Memphis last season. Bracy went on to finish the season with 48 solo tackles (81 total, 33 assisted) with nine pass breakups, a forced fumble and an interception.

His efforts made him highly-sought after in the portal and held interest from Clemson, Houston, Iowa, Mississippi State and Arkansas, among others. Now, he’s heading up north to Ann Arbor to play for Kyle Whittingham in his first season as the Wolverines head coach.

Before his big 2025 season, Bracy spent two seasons with the UAB Blazers. He logged modest stats in both seasons and ended his time there with 35 tackles, two pass breakups and an interception.

Before college, Bracy was a three star recruit according to the Rivals Industry Rankings, which is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. He was the No. 1,962 player nationally and the 170th-rated player at his position.

He is the 12th player to commit to Michigan out of the portal. On the other side of the coin, 27 players from Michigan’s 2025 roster have entered the NCAA transfer portal for Michigan since it opened on Jan. 2.

The volume of players leaving isn’t surprising given the abrupt coaching turnover that took place during bowl prep. Former head coach Sherrone Moore was fired with cause following a scandal that later resulted in his arrest. He was immediately terminated, and the Wolverines’ coaching search began.

After more than two decades coaching Utah, Whittingham was named as the next head coach at Michigan just days before the Citrus Bowl against Texas. Across his 21 seasons at the helm, he led the Utes to a 177-88 record with three conference championships eight ten-win seasons, and an 11-6 bowl record. He’ll look to lead the Wolverines to national championship-level success in the coming seasons.
