  • Michigan's chances of landing Rivers are bolstered by Michigan's recent signing of five-star QB Bryce Underwood and the program's strong track record of player development.

The Michigan Wolverines are actively seeking to enhance their wide receiver unit by targeting Eric Rivers, a standout wide receiver from Florida International University (FIU). According to reports, Michigan's interest in Rivers stems from his impressive performance last season where he recorded 43 receptions for 705 yards and 5 touchdowns. His physical attributes, including his size and speed, make him an attractive prospect for Michigan, which is looking to bolster its passing game. The Wolverines' coaching staff, led by head coach Jim Harbaugh, sees Rivers as a potential key addition to improve the team's offensive capabilities, especially after a season where the team's receiving corps underperformed. This move is part of Michigan's broader strategy to recruit talent from the transfer portal to address specific team needs.
