he Michigan Wolverines and Alabama Crimson Tide are not just battling in the College Football Playoff. The latest Michigan rumors show Jim Harbaugh and Nick Saban are both aiming to land former five-star USC cornerback Domani Jackson. According to On3.com’s Pete Nakos, Michigan and Bama are the two favorites to land Jackson in the transfer portal.

“One of the top cornerbacks still on the board in the portal, Domani Jackson officially entered the transfer portal on Monday night,” Nakos wrote in a December 21 article titled, “Transfer Portal Intel: Latest on Evan Stewart, Walter Nolen, KJ Jefferson and more.”

“While he is open to landing anywhere, a source told On3, Michigan and Alabama are clearly in the lead a few days into his portal recruitment. Both were the top challengers to USC when he was a Five-Star Plus+ recruit in the 2022 cycle.”
