Is there any info on how many Michigan players are opting out of the bowl game?

I'm sure there is.

Asked the same question. We lost half our defensive starters. 
 

Surely they will have guys leaving. 

I believe their coach has opted out.

His decision to opt in and out is why he had to opt out  😳

Change the title, very misleading 

Not a ton of official movement so far for Michigan.

Probably cause they don’t know what the hell is going on over there on and off the field 🤣

Their AD reminds me of that scene in fight club where you have to start a fight with someone and it’s surprising how hard it is to get someone to actually fight you. How is this guy not fired yet??

I'm more concerned about the Longhorn players that will not participate.  Does anyone have a list?

"Opt outs" too close to "opts out" - Before even clicking the thread, I went straight to searching news! Got suckered for sure, should have never doubted the character of Michigan.

No

I'm assuming a good chunk of their D will opt out, there's like 6 or 7 NFL players on that side, from what I remember.

None reported yet.  Zero.

I think that was last year. They don’t have a ton of top tier defensive talent this draft cycle.

That's not what I remember hearing. Heard they have several NFL guys on that defense. You could be right though.

I could be thinking about it in relative terms compared to last year. I don’t think they have a bunch of Day 1 and Day 2 picks on that defense that are draft eligible.

It is undefeated.

Texas 7.5 point favorite...started about 4.5, fyi

Below is a list of projected Michigan players headed for the 2026 draft based off the Mock Draft Consensus - no one in the first two rounds, five off the defense but none projected to go before Round 4.

Ace is right ...

Haynes is a dude. I follow the draft pretty closely for offensive players because I am a dynasty fantasy football degenerate that plays in like 7 leagues.
