ND DE Ovie Oghoufo in the transfer portal
A name to keep an eye on in the transfer portal. He's 6'3 240lb DE who has totaled 33 tackles and 5 sacks at ND. Oghoufo is originally from Farmington, MI and grew up a Michigan fan. He also has a Michigan connection in Mario Ojemudia who is his cousin. Michigan did offer him when he was a recruit but he committed to ND soon after the offer.
If Michigan gets its defensive staff settled soon, it would be good to pursue some more depth at the DE spot with Paye leaving and no clear heir apparent at the position (maybe Luiji Vilain?).

Sounds about right... when we desperately needed a DT transfer, we instead got a DE in Danna... while he was a great addition, we needed DT transfer, as we do now. Unless the plan is to bulk him up and play inside /s

Look at the depth chart. Michigan needs an end too.

There are a couple big Clemson DT's in the portal:
- 4 star Jordan Williams 6-4 310 RS junior
- 4 star Nyles Pinckney 6-1, 300 Grad Transfer with immediate eligibility
Clemson, unlike UM made DT an absolute priority. I think they had 20 at one point. These guys were replaced by younger players so are concerned about playing time.
They would play here.

Brian Kelly has lost his program.
/s

Harbaugh would never have let him go .....

His 247 profile reads that he's an OLB, and apparently he played WR in HS. High 3 star, 545 overall.
January 5th, 2021 at 2:12 PM ^
Campbell will definitely need a taller WR or two. I wonder if he can still play WR?
January 5th, 2021 at 4:30 PM ^
A LB sized WR? Move him to TE. We need at least 4-5 more of those.
January 5th, 2021 at 1:26 PM ^
I think he is more of an OLB at 240 pounds. He had 7 solo tackles and 1.5 sacks this past year. He has 22 tackles, 8 solo's, and 2.5 sacks in two years at ND.

Idk, it depends on the scheme you’d bring in but I agree. He’s a hybrid like Uche.

Pick em up - Lloyd Christmas voice.

I hope something happens soon with the staff. At this point, I will have the same reaction if JH is extended or chooses to leave/let go. We need to be able to move on. What transfer will commit to a program with no position coach and a head coach that isn't committed.

"I will have the same reaction if JH is extended or chooses to leave/let go."
That makes one of us. If he returns (which seems highly likely at this point) it will be the equivalent of a huge, wet fart in a tight space.

If you are an eproctophilia, then that wet fart in a tight space would really excite you.
January 5th, 2021 at 2:22 PM ^
The reason I'm saying that is we need a decision if he's staying or going. It's hurt recruiting, and the unknown is worse. I'm not a JH apologist, but if he's staying he needs to come out and say it. If he's leaving, that needs to be said ASAP.
My reaction to whatever the decision is will be "finally".
January 5th, 2021 at 3:22 PM ^
Depends on whose fart it is.
January 5th, 2021 at 1:33 PM ^
I hope the transfer portal is made of reinforced titanium. It’s got to be bursting at the seams with all of those bodies crammed in there.
January 5th, 2021 at 2:02 PM ^
The transfer portal is made of vibranium like Captain America's shield.
January 5th, 2021 at 3:23 PM ^
Bob, there are gonna be some players that don't find schools.
January 5th, 2021 at 1:43 PM ^
Can he can put on 80 pounds and move to the interior. /s
January 5th, 2021 at 1:55 PM ^
No worries. I am sure that our defensive coordinator is actively scouring the portal and reaching out to potentially good fits.
January 5th, 2021 at 2:08 PM ^
Can’t wait to come in second in his transfer recruitment
January 5th, 2021 at 2:18 PM ^
Would be a nice pickup if he's interested.

He’s a corner.
