Michigan Wolverines Sherrone Moore loses his first player to the transfer portal, Reece Attebury
Sherrone Moore, Michigan’s new head coach, speaks in front of family, media and University of Michigan faculty members during a press conference inside the Junge Family Champions Center in Ann Arbor on Saturday, Jan. 27, 2024.
Attebury has played in all 24 games in his Michigan career. He has played on both offense and defense. When he came to the program, Attebury was thought to be the center of the future. However, he never could find his footing and ended up switching to the defensive line. He was a rotational piece there and could never seem to crack the starting lineup. Attebury will leave Ann Arbor to look for an opportunity to start.

It is shocking that Attebury is the first player to leave. He wasn’t a starter, so the loss doesn’t hurt as much if you are a Michigan fan. Normally, in these situations, players flock to the portal, and recruits revoke their commitment. We haven’t seen that with this program. It speaks to what the players think about Moore. It also may have something to do with many starters going to the NFL. This leaves many starting positions open, and players could be eager to start for one of the biggest programs in the nation.
Is this the beginning of an exodus for the Michigan Wolverines? So far, players are staying put and ready to move forward in 2024.
