Michigan's backcourt is seeing some early offseason movement as freshman guard Winters Grady has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. The news, first reported by On3's Pete Nakos, marks a significant decision for the young player following his first collegiate season.

Hailing from Tualatin, Oregon, Grady saw action in nine games for the Wolverines, averaging 2.9 points and 1.1 rebounds per contest. His season highlight came in a dominant 101-60 victory over Rutgers on December 6th, where he posted a season-best six points.

Despite his limited role, Grady departs Ann Arbor with a unique and permanent piece of college basketball history: a National Championship ring. He was part of the Michigan squad that defeated UConn 69-63 to claim the program's first title since 1989, securing his legacy as a champion with the Wolverines.

His entry into the portal opens up another scholarship for Head Coach Dusty May as he continues to shape the roster for the future. For Grady, the transfer represents a fresh start and an opportunity to find a program where he can carve out a larger on-court role for the coming seasons.
