Alright, folks, time to talk Michigan football and transfers because, apparently, it’s portal season again. Jason Hewlett, the Wolverines linebacker, decided to test out the transfer market. He dropped the announcement on his social media just this past weekend. That portal opens up soon, so buckle up for some changes.
Let’s backtrack a bit—Hewlett is a linebacker from Youngstown, Ohio. He came in hot as part of the 2023 class with those three-star vibes. At 6’2”, 227 pounds, he was more of a special teams beast and even snagged a Scout Team Defensive Player of the Week title after the Fresno State game. Three career tackles—props for those—and all during that Northwestern bulldozing. Also worth noting, he redshirted when Michigan snagged the national championship in 2023. Solid experience on his resume now.
His goodbye message was all class, thanking Coach Moore and Michigan for shaping him up but saying it’s time to find new pastures with three years of eligibility still on deck. Best of luck to you, Jason—you’ll do great wherever you land next.
Meanwhile, keep an eye on the rest of the Michigan headlines. You’ve got some other names in the mix like Aamir Hall and Quinten Johnson who might not be on everyone’s NFL radar yet, but something tells me they’ve got some tricks up their sleeves. And, don’t even get me started on the Nico Iamaleava situation and how Michigan’s QB scene better be playing it smart with their star, Bryce Underwood. You gotta navigate that NIL landscape carefully.
Transfers, drafts, NIL deals—one thing’s for sure, in the college football world, there’s never a dull moment.
