It's been a long time coming that Michigan football had been hoping to get one of, if not its top targets in the fold via the transfer portal. And after weeks of waiting, the Wolverines officially got their guy.

Michigan officially announced the signing of Alabama running back transfer Justice Haynes on Friday afternoon. Haynes committed to Michigan last month, but a delay in signing caused some concern. The Wolverines ultimately finalized his paperwork and inked the talented ball carrier.

The Michigan Wolverines have had major success in the transfer portal this year, adding nine transfer signees and ranking No. 4 on the On3 transfer portal index (which factors in both additions and departures).
