The 2023/24 National Championship-winning Michigan Wolverines are set to bid farewell to yet another crucial member of their team. Following the departures of prominent offensive linemen LaDarius Henderson and Zak Zinter, both expected to be early picks in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, the Wolverines are now facing the loss of Junior Colson, one of the most resilient players in the 2024 draft class. Alongside other offensive assets entering the transfer portal, it appears that another significant name is joining the list of departures from Michigan.

What Does Kris Jenkins Mean To The Michigan Wolverines?
Kris Jenkins played a crucial role in the formidable Michigan defense that dominated the Ohio State Buckeyes in three consecutive matchups. Now, as he transitions to the NFL, being touted as a potential first-round pick, both Jenkins and those supporting him evidently believe he is prepared for the challenges of the professional level. The National Champion’s journey to the next stage of his career is one to watch, and hopefully, he achieves success in what is anticipated to be a long and prosperous professional career.
