Michigan football top transfer LaDarius Henderson not expected to enroll until summer
One of Michigan football’s top incoming transfers isn’t expected to join the team until this summer.
A program spokesperson said offensive lineman LaDarius Henderson is still in the process of completing his undergraduate degree through Arizona State, the Pac-12 school where he made 29 starts the past four seasons.
Henderson, a team captain with the Sun Devils last fall, committed to Michigan on Dec. 6 — one day after he entered the transfer portal. The 6-foot-5, 310-pound senior wasn’t listed as a graduate student when he submitted his name into the database.

Henderson was the first among a wave of players from other college programs to commit to Michigan after it won its second consecutive Big Ten title and was selected for a return trip to the College Football Playoff. The other six — quarterback Jack Tuttle, tight end A.J. Barner, linebacker Ernest Hausmann, offensive tackle Myles Hinton, edge defender Josiah Stewart and center Drake Nugent — are all listed on the Wolverines’ spring roster.
Henderson, who began his college career at left tackle before moving one spot over to guard, is expected to compete for a starting position on an offensive line that bid farewell to star center Olu Oluwatimi and Ryan Hayes, quarterback J.J. McCarthy's blindside protector.
