Michigan, MSU Teams Overhaul Rosters for 2025

Michigan and Michigan State are both undergoing major offseason changes ahead of the 2025 college sports seasons. Michigan’s basketball team, led by coach Dusty May, boasts the nation’s top recruiting class and is awaiting transfer Yaxel Lendeborg’s decision on whether to play or enter the NBA draft, a choice that could shape their title hopes. Michigan football is working to solidify its offensive line, with Giovanni El-Hadi, Greg Crippen, and Andrew Sprague likely to start, though some positions remain undecided. Michigan State football faces the unexpected departure of defensive back Dillon Tatum to the transfer portal and is seeking replacements, including transfers Emmanuel Karnley from Miami and Gavin Edwards from Austin Peay. The Spartans have also added transfer edge rushers David Santiago from Air Force and Anelu Lafaele from Wisconsin to bolster a struggling pass rush. Both programs are focused on roster development and leadership as they aim to rebound from past challenges.
