With tight end Luke Lachey expected to be selected in the 2025 NFL Draft, Iowa is now left with wide receivers Jacob Gill and Reece Vander Zee as the primary pass catchers in 2025. The duo finished with a combined 49 catches and 587 yards in 2024, which makes the acquisition of Phillips more promising for the Hawkeyes' offense.

Michigan State football has made their latest splash in the NCAA transfer portal, picking up their fourth wide receiver of the cycle. The Spartans have added the commitment of Rod Bullard, a division two transfer from Valdosta State (GA).

Michigan’s football program has dipped into the transfer portal to land a new long snapper for 2025. UCLA’s Trent Middleton announced his commitment to the Wolverines on Thursday in a social media post.

Michigan landed Indiana wide receiver Donaven McCulley right away when the transfer portal opened which was nice given he's a 6-foot-5 body, but the Wolverines haven't been able to bring anyone else into the fold -- yet.
