Michigan football running back Bryson Kuzdzal entering NCAA transfer portal
Michigan Wolverines junior running back Bryson Kuzdzal is entering the NCAA transfer portal, according to On3’s Pete Nakos. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining at his next school after redshirting his first year in Ann Arbor.
Kuzdzal, who originally joined the program as a walk-on out of Forest Hills Eastern High School and a Grand Rapids native, broke onto the scene in 2024 with six appearances on special teams, making two tackles.
Kuzdzal has 76 carries for 326 yards and 4 touchdowns this season in Ann Arbor with the bulk of that production coming down the stretch. He started the 45-20 win at Maryland with 20 carries for 100 yards and 3 touchdowns, then got a second start in the Citrus Bowl loss to Texas with 20 carries for 82 yards.
