Michigan OL Amir Herring plans to enter NCAA transfer portal

Michigan offensive lineman Amir Herring plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, according to On3’s Pete Nakos.

Herring appeared in one game last season to earn his varsity letter. He also preserved his redshirt and has four years of eligibility left.

He played right guard against Indiana last October for his only game action of 2023.

As a member of the Class of 2023, Herring was a four-star recruit out of West Bloomfield (Mich.) High, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 4 overall prospect in the state, the No. 19 interior offensive lineman in the class and the No. 311 overall prospect in the class.

With Herring bound for the portal, at least as of now, it’s more changes for Michigan. Although Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt had an interesting take about the new era of Wolverines’ football.

He took a visit to Michigan recently and discussed the atmosphere surrounding the program on his podcast.

“How do you make sure that nothing has changed when everything is different?” Klatt said. “That’s what they’re charged to do and what’s going to be so difficult and why next season is going to be so fascinating from a Michigan perspective. Everything is changing at Michigan and around Michigan. Got a new conference in the Big Ten. Got a new 12-team College Football Playoff. They also are now trying to defend a national championship with all new faces. Yet when you go into the building there is this sense within the group that nothing has changed. It’s wild because everybody’s different. How has nothing changed?

“They will tell you that their culture, their philosophy, their structure, the mentality of how they practice, their systems both offensively and defensively, the development — none of that is changing. This is status quo for the Michigan Wolverines. Yet everybody doing those things is different. You look around and it’s basically a completely new coaching staff, new strength staff. The only way that everyone’s different and nothing changes is if they’re all kind of promoted from within. Are you part of that family? Were you part of that structure? Did you help build everything that we talk about when we walk about the Michigan culture? That’s the sense that I got around their team.”
