Another Michigan Wolverines\u2019 starter has entered his name into the transfer portal, this time being starting right tackle Andrew Sprague.<\/p>\n

The Kansas City, Missouri native played every game for the Wolverines during the regular season at right tackle, where he was very effective, earning a 69.4 PFF grade<\/a> on 740 total snaps. He was named an honorable mention All-Big Ten selection by coaches and media and shared the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week award following Michigan\u2019s win over Nebraska.<\/p>\n

Sprague came onto the scene in 2024 in the ReliaQuest Bowl, making his first career start after four appearances late in games, and his stellar play against a ferocious Alabama defensive line led to a Wolverines\u2019 win and fellow true freshman running back Jordan Marshall surpassing 100 rushing yards in his first start. With multiple incoming transfers last offseason and the development of a crowded offensive line room, Sprague beat them all out to be the bona fide anchor on the right side of the offensive line for true freshman QB Bryce Underwood.<\/p>\n

If Sprague ultimately decides to leave Ann Arbor and join a different program, he will bring experience, power and extremely high upside as only a redshirt freshman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another Michigan Wolverines\u2019 starter has entered his name into the transfer portal, this time being starting right tackle…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":649951,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[7,580,52888,52889,49,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-649950","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-michigan-football","10":"tag-michigan-football-news","11":"tag-michigan-football-transfer-portal","12":"tag-ncaa","13":"tag-ncaa-football"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115829618496958004","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=649950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649950\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/649951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=649950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=649950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=649950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
