Michigan’s football program has dipped into the transfer portal to land a new long snapper for 2025.

UCLA’s Trent Middleton announced his commitment to the Wolverines on Thursday in a social media post.

“Beyond blessed to say I have committed to the University of Michigan,” he wrote accompanied by a graphic of him in a Wolverines uniform.

The California native did not appear in a game in his first two seasons at UCLA and has three years of eligibility remaining. He was graded as a five-star prospect by Kohl’s Kicking and ranked as the No. 7 long snapper nationally in the 2023 recruiting class.

Michigan has an opening at long snapper with William Wagner, a Patrick Mannelly Award finalist as the nation’s top long snapper, exhausting his NCAA eligibility in 2024.

The 6-foot-3, 230-pound Middleton is the 11th player Michigan has landed in the transfer portal this cycle.
