Justice Haynes News, Rumors, Updates - Michigan Wolverines

Commits to Georgia Tech Haynes (foot) has committed to Georgia Tech, Steve Samra of On3.com reports.

Impact Haynes, a Georgia native, will transfer from Michigan and enroll at one of the state's best colleges. The running back's focus shifts to becoming healthy for 2026. Before his foot injury, he excelled as part of the 2025 Wolverines. Across seven games, Haynes logged 121 rushing attempts for 857 yards (7.1 averaged per carry) and 10 touchdowns. When he is healthy, the 2026 Jackets' primary runner likely will be him, even if the Yellow Jackets maintain Malachi Hosley despite his seven-touchdown 2025.

Sitting out Citrus Bowl Haynes (foot) will miss Wednesday's Citrus Bowl matchup versus Texas, per the Big Ten availability report.

Impact Haynes didn't travel with the team initially but had reportedly joined the team later on. Even so, it appears the junior back will miss the contest, and Jordan Marshall (undisclosed) is also questionable to suit up for the tilt, potentially leaving the Wolverines down major depth in the backfield. Haynes closes out 2025 with 121 carries for 857 yards and 10 touchdowns to his name as a runner and will enter the offseason with one year of eligibility remaining, should he choose to return to the college ranks in 2026.

Doubtful for The Game Haynes (foot) is doubtful for Michigan's regular-season finale Nov. 29 against Ohio State, Austin Meek of The Athletic reports.

Impact Haynes is not ruled out for postseason action, but it looks like the regular season including him again is no longer a possibility. He will sit out Michigan's next game Saturday at Maryland, and the Game thereafter is unlikely to feature his services as well. Ohio State's team has gone undefeated since its last meeting with Michigan, and the Wolverines' absence of their superstar running back may prove costly in ending the winning streak of their most successful rival this season.

Haynes has been a monster since heading to Ann Arbor in the offseason, running for 857 yards and 10 touchdowns on an impressive 7.1 yards per carry through seven games.
