After spending two seasons as a backup quarterback for the Wolverines, Alan Bowman will enter the transfer portal as a graduate transfer, Maize and Blue Review has confirmed. Bowman spent three seasons with Texas Tech prior to his two seasons in Ann Arbor, but the 6-foot-3 signal caller has played very sparingly in his time as a Wolverine.

Bowman threw for more than 5,000 yards and 33 touchdowns as a Red Raider before transferring to Michigan, where he hasn't seen the field nearly as much as he did in Lubbock. Through two seasons in Ann Arbor, Bowman sat behind the likes of Cade McNamara and J.J. McCarthy, and he only saw the field in garbage time.

Last season, he completed just two passes on four attempts for nine yards and an interception. This season, he completed six of his seven passes for 60 yards and a touchdown pass to Leon Franklin in Michigan's 59-0 win over UConn back in September.

Bowman joins McNamara, Erick All, Louis Hansen and George Rooks as the fifth Wolverine to enter the transfer portal since its opening.

After Cade McNamara went down with an injury earlier this season, Bowman moved into the third-string quarterback role behind McCarthy and sophomore Davis Warren. Behind McCarthy and Warren, Michigan is now left with freshmen Alex Orji, Jayden Denegal, Brandon Mann, Declan Byle and senior Andy Maddox on its quarterback depth chart.
