Michigan Loses Starting Tackles Andrew Sprague and Jake Guarnera to Transfer Portal

The departures arrive during Kyle Whittingham’s early roster reset under a tightened January transfer window.

Overview

  • Team spokesman confirmations show Sprague entered late Friday and Guarnera followed Saturday morning, bringing Michigan’s portal exits to 12 with the window open through Jan. 16.
  • Sprague started all 13 games at right tackle in 2025 and Guarnera started 11 at right guard, with both earning All-Big Ten honorable mention.
  • Both linemen entered the portal with do-not-contact tags, according to On3 reporting cited by Yahoo Sports.
  • Freshman offensive lineman Kaden Strayhorn and redshirt freshman edge Devon Baxter were among earlier entrants as the list of departures climbed into double digits.
  • The wave of movement tracks with December’s coaching change from Sherrone Moore to Kyle Whittingham, who is bringing multiple Utah assistants, including offensive line coach Jim Harding.
