Michigan safety enters NCAA Transfer Portal

According to a report from Zach Shaw of 247Sports, the Michigan football team has lost a safety to the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Shaw reported on Friday, that Wolverines‘ sophomore safety Jordan Morant has entered the portal, meaning he will almost certainly continue his career elsewhere.

From 247Sports:

Initially a four-star recruit in the 2020 recruiting class, Morant has appeared in eight games for the Wolverines on special teams (75 snaps) and three at safety (eight snaps). The 6-foot, 210-pounder has one career tackle with Michigan.

While Morant missed the 2020 season as he continued to recover from injuries sustained in high school, he was on the outside looking in on Michigan’s safety depth chart last season. The departures of Daxton Hill and Brad Hawkins opened the room up a little bit this spring, but Rod MooreRJ MotenCaden Kolesar and Makari Paige all played significantly more snaps than Morant last season and return to the room. Further, former four-star prospects Keon Sabb and Zeke Berry are expected to fight for two-deep roles in the safety room this fall as true freshmen.

NFL Draft Betting: How Early Will the Top Edge Rushers Be Drafted?

There’s a fairly well-accepted adage that “the most valuable football positions are quarterback and anyone who can get to the quarterback.” We all know that the passing game — both on offense and defense — has become the premier phase of NFL play, so it makes sense that prospects who affect it should demand attention in the NFL Draft. Especially in an NFL prospect cycle with no clear-cut, superstar-to-be quarterbacks, the edge-rushing talent is the show in town for 2022 draftniks.

Edge rusher is also a position you should be paying attention to if you want to bet the NFL Draft this year. FanDuel Sportsbook has player draft position props available for a number of NFL prospects: they give an overall draft slot number and you can bet on whether that prospect will be selected “over” (later in the draft) or “under” (earlier) that pick.

All four edge rushers with draft slot props have lines suggesting they’ll be top-10 selections. Will the top picks be dominated by defensive ends, or will any of these elite edge players slip down the board in the 2022 NFL Draft?

Methodology

I use a combination of data sources, including mock drafts and my own draft pick model to help project players into draft slots. The mock draft data I use sources the “pulse of the people” via Grinding the Mocks and their Expected Draft Position (EDP), as well as an “expert consensus mock” of the nine most accurate mockers over the last five years, per The Huddle Report.
