DE Carter Meadows’ path to Michigan Football, outlook for 2026
Unlike other blue bloods, Michigan doesn’t often reel in high five-star prospects. For every Rashan Gary and Bryce Underwood, there are classes without a single five-star in it that are developed into powerhouse football teams. The class of 2026 is the former, as Michigan brought in two five-stars this offseason in Savion Hiter and Carter […]
Get to know Chris Lazary, Michigan Hockey’s newest assistant coach
Replacing an assistant coach is never easy, especially when that coach is leaving to become the head coach at Harvard. When Rob Rassey departed earlier this month, Michigan Hockey head coach Brandon Naurato had an important decision to make. Rather than hire someone with an NCAA background, he looked north of the border…kinda. Michigan’s newest […]
How many yards can Michigan’s 3 best rushers combine for in 2026?
Michigan’s offense is undergoing some changes once again. Under new head coach Kyle Whittingham, the Wolverines will also have a new offensive coordinator in Jason Beck, now making it four straight seasons with a different offensive coordinator for the program. Throughout all the changes, the identity has largely been the same — a run-centric scheme […]

3 positions of need remaining for Michigan Football’s 2027 recruiting class
The Michigan Wolverines have a solid 2027 recruiting class assembled up to this point in the year.

While spots are filling up, there are still a few positions of need […]

Majority of Michigan fans in favor of Warde Manuel remaining AD until end of year
Earlier this week, we asked fans if Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel should step down now or at the end of the year. The results give a slight edge to Manuel staying through the end of the year. 56% of fans are in favor of Manuel staying on as athletic director the rest of the […]
Former Michigan Hockey player Jack Johnson joins Ohio State women’s staff
Avert your eyes, Michigan Hockey fans — program legend Jack Johnson was recently hired to be the associate head coach of the Ohio State women’s hockey program, the team’s social media account announced this week. Johnson, 39, starred for the Wolverines under head coach Red Berenson during the 2005-06 and 2006-07 campaigns. He earned first […]
Checking in on the Big Ten’s Flex Protect XVIII scheduling model
For whatever reason, I have always been fascinated with the administrative side of college athletics. No, not NIL budgeting and HR policies, but things like the Big Ten’s television contracts (evergreen FYI: FOX does not get first dibs at picking the Big Noon Saturday game every week). Another exciting (read: nerdy) element of college football […]
The Top 25 Michigan men’s basketball players since 1989: No. 6
We had our first Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year winner earlier in this list, as Aday Mara came in at No. 10. Now, we reach the first Big Ten Player of the Year in our offseason series ranking the Top 25 players since 1989. A key force on the national champion runner-ups in […]

Mike Boynton and the Michigan Wolverines are already working hard on the recruiting trail, attempting to set the program up for success in the long run. Boynton’s early efforts are already paying off, as Rivals’ Jamie Shaw ($) reported on Friday morning that 2028 five-star center Dylan Betts is set to take an unofficial visit […]
Fans think this Michigan Football player will lead the team in sacks
As we patiently wait for the first game of the season, we’re still asking you for thoughts on which players will lead the team in certain statistical categories this fall. We wrapped up the offense last week, so now it’s time to move to the defense. On Monday, I posted to The Feed: Who leads […]
DE Lugard Edokpayi’s path to Michigan Football, outlook for 2026
The edge room got a whole lot better with the addition of John Henry Daley, a potential All-American pass rusher who came to Ann Arbor from Utah with head coach Kyle Whittingham. Effectively deployed as the DE1 on the depth chart, everyone else took a bump down that list, including redshirt sophomore Lugard Edokpayi, who […]
Friday Discussion: Should college football be played on natural grass?
The FIFA World Cup wrapped up last weekend with Spain taking the crown on natural grass at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Per FIFA regulations, World Cup games are required to be played on natural surfaces, meaning that several of the large American stadiums had to lay down sod to meet those requirements. This sparked […]
Michigan Basketball vs Duke matchup canceled
One of the most anticipated non-conference college basketball games for the 2026-27 season is no longer happening. As first reported by CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander, the previously scheduled matchup between Michigan and Duke has been canceled. The game was scheduled for Dec. 21 at loanDepot Park in Miami, after initial plans to play at Madison Square Garden fell through. With the Wolverines now out, […]
Column: U-M AD Warde Manuel’s biggest failures are moral, not sporting
Sports fans are deeply irrational creatures. There’s nothing logical about attaching such a fundamental part of your identity to a bunch of people you’ve never met who only share in common a certain color cloth they wear, who chase a ball or puck around for about three hours every weekend. Yet billions of people do. […]

3 potential candidates to replace Michigan AD Warde Manuel
Michigan’s athletic department (almost) officially has a vacancy at the top, with Warde Manuel set to leave the university at the end of the year. The athletic director position at Michigan should be one of the most coveted positions in the country thanks to the school’s large operating budget, pool of boosters and alumni, and […]
Michigan Football 2026 position group breakdown: Wide receivers
A lot has looked off the mark for Michigan football the last two years, but one spot that’s been a unique source of frustration is the wide receiver room. The Wolverines have strived for consistency from its pass-catchers the past two years, but have struggled to find it, as Michigan’s 1,000-yard receiving drought has stretched […]
Michigan Football Coaching Spotlight: Koy Detmer Jr.
Many were shocked to find out that Bryce Underwood didn’t have a designated quarterback coach in his freshman season. Now entering his second season with the Wolverines, Underwood will have both an offensive coordinator in Jason Beck, who will serve as the Robert McCollum Family Quarterbacks Coach, and a designated position coach in Koy Detmer […]
Michigan Football 2026 opponent preview: Iowa
The Michigan Wolverines will begin conference play this season with their 65th all-time meeting with the Iowa Hawkeyes, a series the Wolverines lead, 45-15-4.

Michigan Football’s interior OL battle to take shape during fall camp
For all the attention surrounding Bryce Underwood this offseason, one of the most important storylines on Michigan’s roster may actually be taking place right in front of him. The Wolverines enter the new season with one certainty along the interior offensive line. Jake Guarnera has settled in at center, but Nathan Efobi, Brady Norton and […]
3 non-negotiable traits Michigan’s next Athletic Director must have
The job description of a college athletic director is as long as it’s ever been. While Warde Manuel’s pending departure from the University of Michigan feels warranted, there’s no denying he had some major successes along with his failures. Michigan athletics will soon start a new chapter — a new president and AD are on […]
