CB Smith Snowden’s path to Michigan Football, outlook for 2026
Michigan’s secondary was good, not great in 2025. As such, the Wolverines dipped into the transfer portal to make a meaningful upgrade alongside Zeke Berry and Jyaire Hill, both of whom are entering their third season as starters. Former Utah Ute Smith Snowden was the guy, and he’s expected to be one of the defense’s […]
5 stats Michigan Football must improve during 2026 season
Michigan finished 9-4 in 2025, a season in which there were multiple areas to improve in. For the most part, Michigan’s defense and run game proved impactful and near the top of the country in most statistical categories. The pass game, and the pass defense at times, though, struggled to get going and never really […]
Why Roddy Gayle Jr. possibly returning to Michigan would be significant
It was only two years ago that Roddy Gayle Jr. was one of the new kids in town. After two years draped in scarlet and gray, Gayle hopped the fence over to the other side of college athletics’ most hostile rivalry, helping fill out Dusty May’s first transfer class for Michigan. But time sure does […]

Why Michigan Football’s offense could catch ‘lightning in a bottle’ in 2026
With offensive coordinator Jason Beck calling plays, the Michigan Wolverines’ offense will look a lot different this year compared to prior regimes.

Senior tight end Zack Marshall recently spoke with the media and broke down why the offense will create challenges for opposing defenses […]
3 Michigan Football players on offense with the most to prove in 2026
Michigan’s offense figures to take a step forward in 2026 after back-to-back seasons of average-to-below-average play.

Despite his […]
Michigan long snapper makes annual college football ‘Freaks’ list
When evaluating the roster once the dust settled on the transfer portal this offseason, many fans were excited to see names like John Henry Daley, Smith Snowden, Jamie Ffrench, Salesi Moa and others eventually commit to Michigan Football from prior stops.

Kim Barnes’ Arico’s consistency is key for Michigan Women’s Basketball
Fourteen years into her tenure as the Michigan women’s basketball head coach, Kim Barnes Arico is a rarity. In the 18-school Big Ten, she is one of just five coaches who’ve been at the helm more than 10 years. Only Maryland’s Brenda Frese (25 years) and UCLA’s Cori Close (15 years) have been at their […]
Finding Bryce Underwood’s Week 1 baseline
Make a statement more generic than this: the Michigan Wolverines will go as far as their quarterback takes them. With an 8.5 win total, the range of outcomes is vast for Michigan this fall. Many see this line as a smash under; others see the Wolverines as a sneaky playoff team despite a schedule that […]
The frontrunners to start at kicker and punter for Michigan Football
Michigan made two key additions on special teams this offseason via the transfer portal — kicker Trey Butkowski (Pitt) and Cam Brown (UNLV). Butkowski was 20-of-23 last season, going 6-of-9 from 40-49 yards out. Brown, a native of Australia, punted 22 times last season as a freshman, with a 42.9-yard average and long of 71 […]

The Michigan Wolverines are primed for a much-improved secondary in 2026 with a team laden with experience and talent.

Building the active all-Michigan Football NFL team
In a little more than a month, the NFL will return after a summer largely dominated by the other (and in my opinion, better) football.
