Michigan football has seen the departure of two players from its roster, wide receiver CJ Charleston and safety Taylor Tatum. Charleston, a transfer from Youngstown State, played sparingly in his first season and did not see action last year due to injuries. Tatum, a former top recruit, transitioned from running back to safety but struggled to make an impact following his move. Their exits may provide opportunities for younger players to step up in these positions as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
