How Michigan football transfers are faring at other schools in 2022

ANN ARBOR – Michigan has had its fair share of success this season, sitting at 9-0 with a top-four ranking nationally.

But some of its former players have had success elsewhere this season as well. Here’s how Michigan football transfers have fared at other schools in 2022.

Zach Carpenter, OL, Indiana

The three-star recruit in the 2019 class is a starter this season but has missed two games because of injury for the 3-6 Hoosiers. Carpenter spent two years in Ann Arbor before transferring ahead of the 2021 season.

Zach Charbonnet, RB, UCLA

Charbonnet was a preseason all-Pac-12 first-team selection and has lived up to the hype. The former top-50 recruit leads the Pac-12 with 964 rushing yards, which also is good for 16th nationally. He also has rushed for 10 scores and his been involved in the pass game with 20 receptions for 232 yards. His 2022 performance comes after a breakout season with the Bruins in 2021. He rushed for 1,137 yards and 13 touchdowns in 12 games.

Chuck Filiaga, OL, Minnesota

Filiaga transferred to Minnesota this year for his sixth college season and has earned a starting spot at right guard. He was a top-125 recruit in the 2017 class and played in 39 games at Michigan, including making 12 starts at guard.

Gaige Garcia, RB, Lehigh

The three-star recruit in the 2020 class is the No. 1 running back for Lehigh (1-8) this season, totaling 523 yards and four touchdowns on the ground on 101 attempts. Garcia never saw the field for the Wolverines.

Giles Jackson, WR, Washington

Jackson wasn’t much of a factor in his first season at Washington in 2021, but he ranks fourth on the team in receiving this year with 24 catches for 287 yards and one touchdown. Last week against No. 23 Oregon State, he had a crucial reception on third down to set the 7-2 Huskies up for a game-winning field goal. Jackson, a former four-star recruit from California, is returning kicks and punts again this year, too.

Kelly-Powell is in his third year with the Zips (1-9) and has appeared in six games this season. He has 18 tackles and one sack.

Paea had two tackles before suffering a torn ACL in Week 3. The class of 2017 recruit is in his second season at Utah State.

Nolan Rumler, OL, Kent State

Rumler is in his first season with Kent State after three years in Ann Arbor. The former four-star prospect in the 2019 class appeared in the first four games in 2022 but hasn’t played since.

Samuels, who also was a part of Michigan’s 2017 recruiting class, only has played in two games this year, rushing one time for 6 yards. In 2021, he carried 66 times for 224 yards and one touchdown in nine games. He also caught 12 passes for 72 yards.
