Michigan offensive lineman Raheem Anderson enters NCAA transfer portal

According to On3’s Pete Nakos, Michigan offensive lineman Raheem Anderson has entered the NCAA transfer portal. Anderson has been in the program for four seasons, going through a ton of success with the Wolverines. However, the time to move on has come, and Anderson will finish out his career elsewhere.

Anderson has since released a statement on his decision, thanking a ton of people involved with Michigan.

“First and foremost I’d like to give the utmost gratitude to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for even putting me in this position and blessing me to be able to play the game of football,” Anderson said.

“I’d like to thank the University of Michigan for the best 4 years of my life and experiences that I can never forget. I also want to thank Coach Harbaugh, Coach Moore, Coach Herb, Coach Newsome, and the entire coaching for pouring into me lessons and teaching that will carry for life. To my teammates, that I now consider my brothers, I love you guys and am happy that I was able to call you family for these past four years. I am grateful that I was able to build bonds that will last a lifetime and look forward to seeing everyone succeed in life.

“Having graduated from the University of Michigan in May of 2024, three years after my enrollment, and completing my redshirt junior season, I have decided to enter my name into the transfer portal with one year left of eligibility.

“Forever Go Blue.”

There was not too much playing time for Anderson during his four years in Ann Arbor. The hope is to find a new school and get onto the field in what could be his final year of eligibility.

Anderson played high school football at Detroit (MI) Cass Technical, where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 346 overall recruit in the 2021 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
