One of the top tailbacks available in 2025, Haynes entered the transfer portal Dec. 13 after spending the past two seasons at Alabama. He was the Crimson Tide's third-leading rusher with 448 yards (5.7 per carry) and seven touchdowns in 2024.

He originally joined Alabama as a top-30 ESPN 300 recruit in the 2023 class.

Haynes will join a running back depth chart at Michigan that also features Jordan Marshall, who stood out with 100 yards on 23 carries in a ReliaQuest Bowl victory over Alabama on Dec. 31.
