Overview
- Kyle Whittingham named Bryce Underwood the clear starter and noted teammates voted the sophomore a captain for spring and summer workouts.
- Whittingham set a top offseason objective to refine Underwood into a finished product, with OC Jason Beck and QB coach Koy Detmer Jr. taking a tag-team approach to his development.
- Early in camp, Whittingham identified a leading receiver group of Andrew Marsh, J.J. Buchanan, Jaime Ffrench and freshman Salesi Moa.
- Michigan continues to sort a remade roster after about 20 transfers in, 27 portal departures and 26 freshmen, with offensive line reinforcements in place and defensive-line depth still developing.
- Special teams turns to Kerry Coombs with new specialists at long snapper (Nico Crawford), kicker (Trey Butkowski) and punter (Cam Brown), as practices build toward the April 18–19 spring game.
