It’s official, Brandon Peters is now in the final days of his Wolverine career. After meeting with Jim Harbaugh last week, TMI has confirmed that Michigan’s former starting quarterback has decided to enter the transfer portal. He traveled with the team to South Africa and will return to complete the final nine hours necessary to receive his Michigan degree in the spring term. Harbaugh is also allowing Peters full use of the football facilities during his remaining time in Ann Arbor.

Thanks to his decision to enroll in college early, Peters’ will have two years of eligibility remaining to use at the school he lands at next. That should make him even more enticing to coaches who value his three-plus years of tutelage in a pro-style scheme.

Peters finishes his Michigan career having gone 58/110 for 680 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions. Those numbers aren't reflective of the promising path he seemed to be on during redshirt freshman campaign in 2017. He took the helm in relief versus Rutgers in game eight and wen 10/14 for 124 yards and a touchdown. He was efficient, decisive, and several times showed his mobility by extending plays and making throws downfield. He led the Wolverines to a 35-14 victory over the Scarlet Knights, then followed that up by piloting equally decisive victories over Minnesota and Maryland. Things took an unfortunate turn for the worse in game 11 versus Wisconsin when he was knocked out of the contest with a concussion. That ultimately sidelined him for the regular season finale versus a Ohio State, a loss in which subpar quarterback play was the biggest culprit.

Peters returned to play in the Outback Bowl versus South Carolina in January, but his 20/44, 186-yard, two-interception showing came in a loss that saw the Wolverines squandered a 19-3 second half lead. It would be his last game as a starter for the Maize & Blue. Shea Patterson’s transfer to Michigan signaled a changing of the guard (and now a changing of the offense) in Ann Arbor.

Word on the schools former U.S. Army All American is interested in hasn't been given yet, but it has been made clear by those close to him that talk of an imminent transfer to Purdue is misplaced. High on his list of priorities will be a clear path to immediate playing time and a pro style emphasis. Thanks to his experience at Michigan he should be in better position to seize such an opportunity. His biggest area of growth during his three-plus years as a Wolverine was in his ability to command a team vocally.

“I’ve definitely gotten a lot better at it,” Peters said after the aforementioned Rutgers win. “That’s something I’ve really focused on. It’s been my weakness ever since I’ve gotten to Michigan. I’ve really focused on it. And it makes a big difference for sure.”
