Photo by Steve Limentani/ISI Photos/Getty Images Michigan’s defensive backfield will look different this season, but with returning talent and depth it has the pieces to excel. With the departure of so many players to the NFL and the transfer portal, the Michigan football team has a lot of work to do to retool and reload each position. Looking at the secondary, that’s definitely true. With two of the Wolverines’ starting cornerbacks, Mike Sainristil and Josh Wallace, getting drafted this offseason, Michigan will have to fill in the holes they’ve left. That isn’t going to be a problem for the W ..read more

Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images Head coach Sherrone Moore gave some pretty high praise for one of his freshmen. The Michigan Wolverines will be without a legend at the running back position in 2024. Out is Blake Corum, a two-time All-American and Michigan’s all-time rushing touchdowns leader. He has been one of the program leaders over the last few years and had a handful of iconic moments during his four-year college career. Corum embodied what it is to be a Michigan man — his work ethic was unmatched, he gave back to the community, oh, and he was a star on the gridiron. Even though Corum is ..read more

Photo by Robin Alam/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The recruiting outlook has changed quite a bit in the past few months. Kickstarting recruiting is no easy task during a coaching change, regardless of the caliber of program. Back in early May, we took a look at Sherrone Moore’s recruiting class as it stood back then and compared it to how Jim Harbaugh and Brady Hoke had done up to that point in the year. Obviously things have changed, so we’re going to revisit this now that Moore has acquired many more commitments since then. Moore Era According to 247Sports’ composite, Moore’s first recrui ..read more

via @FredrickMoore6_ on X Sherrone Moore and the Wolverine staff will host more than 60 prospects this weekend, including a number of commits. The Michigan football coaching staff will welcome prospects from across the country to Ann Arbor this weekend for the annual BBQ at the Big House. This event starts Friday and will span the entire weekend, an expansion on previous years’ one-day event. After recruiting heated up in June for the first time since Sherrone Moore took over as head coach for the reigning National Champs, the Wolverines will look to finish the summer on a high note. The BBQ m ..read more

Photo by Jamie Schwaberow/Getty Images This bond between coach and player has been years in the making. There was plenty of turnover on Michigan’s coaching staff this offseason following Jim Harbaugh’s departure to the NFL. One of the bigger losses was running backs coach Mike Hart, who was instrumental in Michigan’s ground game and the success of Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards in recent years. With the Michigan legend out the door, Sherrone Moore was able to reach into enemy territory to find a replacement. Tony Alford was hired as Michigan’s new running backs coach in March after he’d serve ..read more

Photo by Michael Hickey/Getty Images Last season Day picked up his third-straight defeat at the hands of Michigan, but nonetheless believes Ohio State should have won. Since taking over as Ohio State’s head football coach, Ryan Day has led the Buckeyes to a 56-8 record and a 39-3 record against Big Ten opponents. Under Day’s guidance, Ohio State has dominated over the last five seasons. That is, except against Michigan. Those three conference blemishes on his resume come at the Wolverines’ hands. He led the Buckeyes past Michigan in 2019, has fallen short each season since besides the COVID sh ..read more

Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK Moore was a solid choice for the Wolverines but he will have his work cut out for him. Michigan’s won three consecutive Big Ten Championships and had three consecutive College Football Playoff appearances, including a National Championship last season. It’s been great to be a Michigan Wolverine in recent years. However, all good things come to an end — including the Jim Harbaugh era. Harbaugh left Michigan to become the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers in January, and he took a good chunk of the Michigan staff with him including defensive coordinator Jesse M ..read more

Set Number: X164411 TK1 Two experienced players — who have never been a starter at Michigan — are duking it out for the starting center job. The Michigan Wolverines’ offensive line has been elite over the last three seasons under the leadership of Sherrone Moore. There have been quality players up and down the line, but it is particularly important to have a high caliber and cerebral center who is able to communicate with and snap the ball to the quarterbacks. With Drake Nugent off to the NFL, the Wolverines will have an in-house center snapping the ball this year for the first time since 2021 ..read more

Photo by Michael Hickey/Getty Images Michigan football may have a new head coach, but with Michigan’s culture still in tact, there is nothing to worry about. Entering the 2024 season, the Michigan Wolverines’ football team is starkly different from the team that held up the National Championship trophy six months ago. With many players going to the NFL, others opting to enter the transfer portal and several position coaches leaving, there’s a lot of disparity. But at the core is the biggest difference: a new head coach. On the surface, Jim Harbaugh departing and Sherrone Moore taking over evok ..read more

Photo by Michael Hickey/Getty Images With the transfer portal and NIL running rampant, Fleck appreciates how Michigan was able to win the natty last year. In the current age of college football with NIL and the transfer portal, it is often difficult for a head coach to put together a high quality team on and off the field. Some teams have a great on-field product, but don’t put in the same effort off the field. Over the last few years at the University of Michigan, the football program has had the best of both worlds — high class student-athletes who aren’t just teammates, they’re brothers. Th ..read more
