Michigan football needs help at wide receiver in the worst way. With Darrius Clemons, Karmello English, Cristian Dixon, and Jake Thaw entering the transfer portal while Roman Wilson and Cornelius Johnson graduated, it leaves the Wolverines with just four scholarship wide receivers on the roster this spring, with the two freshmen on the way this summer. Earlier this week, the maize and blue appeared to get some potentially good news as former UCLA wide receiver Kyle Ford — who is in the transfer portal — having dropped his top six schools. Michigan football made the cut along with Florida, USC ..read more

Michigan football desperately needs some momentum on the recruiting trail after something of a slog following Jim Harbaugh’s departure and the installation of Sherrone Moore as the new head coach. Moore has yet to receive his first commitment, and there have been zero pledges since the Wolverines won the national championship. But hosting a five-star shortly after he was offered is certainly a good start. 2026 Woodbury Forest (Va.) running back Savion Hiter was offered on March 28 and based on his strong relationship with new running backs coach Tony Alford, it was enough to get him to Ann Arb ..read more

The Michigan football spring game is nearly upon us and the annual scrimmage should enlighten us, to some degree, on the state of the 2024 Wolverines. While it won’t give us a very good idea of just how good the team may be — the ‘teams’ playing were drafted internally instead of it being a good-on-good matchup — we’ll get to know more about the individual players that comprise the maize and blue. We’ve heard of a lot of ascendant youngsters, as well as those who have been entrenched in the program for some time but have had to wait their turn. Now, we’ll get to see them in action. With all o ..read more

Michigan is set to play its spring game on Saturday at noon EDT. The game offers fans the first glimpse at what the new staff and roster have in store for next season. Under Harbaugh, spring games were a fun chance for the team to get competitive while still offering fans just enough football to stave off their undying offseason hunger. Hopefully, new head coach Sherrone Moore will keep things running smoothly this year. Of course, there are many things to be excited about. The contest will offer a look at some early enrollee freshmen, sophomores who didn’t get to see the field last year, and ..read more

Michigan football entered spring ball with just four scholarship wide receivers. Now that number has dwindled to three. The Wolverines likely have their starting three at wideout in junior Tyler Morris and sophomores Fredrick Moore and Semaj Morgan. Walk-on Peyton O’Leary has long gotten publicity in the offseason but has yet to produce on-field results. Then there’s the case of former four-star wideout Cristian Dixon, the speedster from Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei. Dixon never really matriculated, though he had gotten some offseason praise last year. Though bodies are needed at the position ..read more

Michigan football has some needs in the transfer portal — namely wide receiver, but also potentially quarterback and cornerback. One position that seemed unlikely that the Wolverines would target? Defensive tackle. The maize and blue are loaded at the position with the best starting duo in the country with Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant. There’s some question of depth with Rayshaun Benny coming back from a broken leg, while Enow Etta, Ike Iwunnah, and Trey Pierce continue to develop. But the Wolverines have been solid in recent years at bringing in talent that is a little off the beaten path ..read more

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — For the third times in their careers, Lou Esposito and Steve Casula have found themselves roaming the same sideline but in a different uniform. From their shared tenures at Western Michigan, Davenport, and now Michigan football, the duo have always seemed to find each other. And in the latest case, it wasn’t even close to expected. While Casula, a former Michigan offensive analyst who had taken the UMass offensive coordinator job after the 2021 season, was an early hire by new head coach Sherrone Moore, Esposito was a late addition, a replacement for embattled new defen ..read more

The Michigan staff did a terrific job keeping the roster intact through the first transfer portal window despite the massive coaching turnover that followed Jim Harbaugh’s departure to the NFL. The Wolverines lost just one contributor in Keon Sabb and one rising player in Karmello English, but managed to keep all the key players and even most of the depth. Sherrone Moore and the rest of the new coaches deserve a pat on the back for re-recruiting the entire roster despite the lucrative NIL deals that were non-doubt in the cards for star players like Mason Graham, Colston Loveland, and Will Joh ..read more

The first of the two NCAA investigations into the Wolverines, the one pertaining to what’s commonly referred to as ‘burgergate,’ appears to be coming to a close. Michigan football had been found to have both impermissible contact with recruits during the ever-changing COVID landscape as well Jim Harbaugh having reportedly ‘misled’ investigators after purchasing a cheeseburger for a recruit on campus. In terms of the former, the NCAA has announced that it’s come to a resolution with penalties ranging from three years of probation, a fine, and recruiting restrictions. Michigan and five individu ..read more

He hasn’t been the head coach of Michigan football for very long, but already, Sherrone Moore has had some tough decisions to make. Besides building his staff and the extra burden of recruiting his own roster in the newfound era of name, image and likeness along with the transfer portal, Moore was put in the unenviable position by one of his new hires, former defensive line coach Greg Scruggs, as he was arrested for drunk driving shortly after he was hired. Now Moore is in an even tougher spot with beloved former quarterback and current recruiting staffer Denard Robinson also having been arres ..read more
