It's been a long time coming that Michigan football had been hoping to get one of, if not its top targets in the fold via the transfer portal. And after weeks of waiting, the Wolverines officially got their guy.

Michigan officially announced the signing of Alabama running back transfer Justice Haynes on Friday afternoon. Haynes committed to Michigan last month, but a delay in signing caused some concern. The Wolverines ultimately finalized his paperwork and inked the talented ball carrier.

Michigan has signed former Alabama running back Justice Haynes, the No. 1 rated tailback in the transfer portal during this winter cycle. The true sophomore and former five-star prospect is headed to Ann Arbor after two seasons in Tuscaloosa, and will have two seasons of collegiate eligibility remaining with the Maize and Blue.
