Nugent changed former Michigan heart Olu Oluwatimi, who obtained drafted by the Seattle Seahawks within the fifth spherical of the 2023 NFL Draft. Ward, or any working again who joins the Michigan program for subsequent season, may very well be in the same spot as Nugent.

Blake Corum, Michigan’s star major working again, eschewed the NFL as a way to come again for the Wolverines this season. Corum may come again for subsequent season, nevertheless it appears doubtless this will probably be his closing season at Michigan.

The identical may apply to Donovan Edwards, Michigan’s backup working again, however he would possibly want to return again to high school. Edwards averaged a bleak 3.4 yards per carry and eight.8 yards per reception this season.

Wisconsin Badgers
