Justice Haynes Decides to ‘Close My Chapter at Michigan,’ Enter Transfer Portal

Justice Haynes led the Big Ten with 857 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns in seven games before a foot injury ended his season, prompting his transfer portal entry.

  • On Friday, Michigan running back Justice Haynes announced he will enter the NCAA transfer portal while planning to return for another year, writing, `Michigan will always be a special part of my story`.
  • A season-ending foot injury in late October required surgery and sidelined Justice Haynes, who spent his first two college seasons at Alabama Crimson Tide with 616 yards and nine touchdowns.
  • Statistically, he produced 857 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns while averaging 7.1 yards per carry and recorded five consecutive 100-plus-yard games.
  • The move creates immediate roster uncertainty for Michigan, as entering the portal removes key contributor Justice Haynes; however, depth remains with Jordan Marshall, Taylor Tatum, and Savion Hiter.
  • Despite missed games, Haynes earned All-Big Ten honors and was ranked among the top five draft-eligible running backs by Matt Miller and Jordan Reid, ESPN NFL draft analysts.
