DE Dominic Nichols’ path to Michigan Football, outlook for 2026
Dominic Nichols was a criminally underrated recruit coming out of high school. At Michigan, he immediately burst onto the scene in practice and parlayed that into a rotational role by his second season in Ann Arbor. Now a junior, Nichols is a breakout candidate and will look to snag a starting spot over some established […]
Why Andrew Marsh could be Michigan Football’s first 1,000-yard WR since 2013
It’s been 13 years since the Michigan Wolverines had a wide receiver eclipse the 1,000-yard plateau in a single season, but Andrew Marsh is primed to end the drought in 2026. Coming off a record-setting freshman season, Marsh is expected to be the top receiving target for Michigan this season, and his explosiveness gives him […]

J.P. Estrella reveals why he decided to stay with Michigan Basketball
The transfer from Tennessee is joining the Wolverines for the 2026-27 season. J.P. Estrella told Brian Boesch on Defend the Block he first connected with head coach Dusty May when he entered the portal.

U-M President reveals why Warde Manuel will be AD until the end of 2026
University of Michigan President Domenico Grasso announced on Monday morning in a YouTube video that Warde Manuel will be stepping down as athletics director at the end of the calendar year. It’s a bit odd for a president to announce that an AD requested to step down, but that he will actually stick around until […]

It was announced on Monday morning that Warde Manuel will be stepping down as the athletics director at the University of Michigan at the end of the calendar year.

Lack of proper oversight has allowed Michigan’s controversies to persist
There’s no mistaking the excellence that Michigan’s athletic programs have put together in recent memory. In just the last three years, the school’s two biggest programs — football and men’s basketball — have won national championships. Michigan has also continued to excel in non-revenue sports, with hockey, gymnastics and women’s basketball, among others, competing with […]
Michigan will have a new football and basketball coach at the same time…again
Win a national championship, lose the head coach. It might not be the most desirable situation to be in, but if we are being honest, the trade-off here is not completely unfair. No one wanted to see Jim Harbaugh or Dusty May leave, but they did what their predecessors could not, so only so much […]
Survey Results: Will Mike Boynton Jr. win a national championship as Michigan’s head coach?
Earlier this week, we asked fans if Michigan men’s basketball’s new head coach, Mike Boynton Jr., can win a national championship with the Wolverines. The results are in, and fans are divided. 45% of voters believe Boynton can win a national championship at Michigan, while 55% don’t believe he can. Boynton was a trusted assistant […]
The Top 25 Michigan men’s basketball players since 1989: No. 7
We’re well into the top-10 in our offseason list of the top-25 Michigan men’s basketball players since 1989. While the model was really strong, there was a surprise that snuck above some Michigan legends. And had he played in Ann Arbor at a different time, he likely could have earned similar love. Let’s remember four-year […]
DE Cameron Brandt’s path to Michigan Football, outlook for 2026
The Michigan defensive line has seen a lot of change this offseason. Three starters and a couple extra rotational pieces either graduated or moved on from the program. That includes Derrick Moore and Jaishawn Barham, two edge rushers picked in the early rounds of April’s NFL Draft. But one name that stands out heading into […]
Michigan Football fans think this TE will lead the group in receiving in 2026
On Monday, I posted on The Feed to ask which tight end you guys think will lead the position in receiving yards in 2026. Unlike the last two weeks, the results for this week’s poll were much closer. At the top of the group was Hogan Hansen (48 percent) and Zack Marshall (38 percent). Deakon […]
Friday Discussion: Which non-Savion Hiter freshman are you most excited about?
The 2026 recruiting class for the Michigan Wolverines is one of the better classes they have had in recent years. 247Sports and On3 both have it ranked just outside the Top 10 nationally, coming in at No. 11. While five-star running back Savion Hiter is obviously the headliner, there is depth and quality throughout the […]

Michigan Football 2026 position group breakdown: Running backs
Michigan football has an identity. I don’t even need to say it — you’re probably already picturing it. October. Cold weather. Under the lights. Hand the ball off. Three-yard gain. Rinse and repeat. The Wolverines have made pounding the rock the cornerstone of their offensive brand as a football program. And that doesn’t look to […]
Michigan Football Coaching Spotlight: Jay Hill
Very similar to the hire of offensive coordinator Jason Beck, head coach Kyle Whittingham’s decision on who he picked to fill the defensive coordinator vacancy seemed quite obvious. He was hired on Dec. 26, and less than two hours after Michigan officially named Jason Beck the offensive coordinator, the Wolverines delivered the news that Jay […]
Michigan Football 2026 opponent preview: Oklahoma
The Michigan Wolverines have become very familiar with former Big 12, now SEC foes in Oklahoma and Texas the last three seasons.

Exclusive: Michigan Football OL Nathan Efobi on his development, Jim Harding, 2026 expectations
Nathan Efobi has quietly become one of the more intriguing players on Michigan’s offensive line heading into the 2026 season.

Michigan DE John Henry Daley’s path to Michigan, outlook for 2026
Michigan made a splash in the transfer portal and added one of the most coveted pass rushers. John Henry Daley could be the best player Michigan’s had at defensive end since Aidan Hutchinson. The story so far Daley was a three-star prospect in the class out of 2021. His senior season in high school was […]
Predicting where will College GameDay and Big Noon Kickoff be this fall
Nothing identifies a big game in college football like ESPN’s College GameDay coming to town. In recent years, FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff has tried to steal the spotlight thanks to their media deal with the Big Ten. Either way, both shows tend to be at the most hyped games of the week on the college […]
