While there’s still a long way to go until the 2023 season opener, the nucleus of the team has been set. Now we know who’s staying and who’s going from the Michigan football team.

The players who were going to go to the NFL have all (essentially) announced their departures. Those who plan to stay have announced their return. The Wolverines gained a bevy of incoming transfers and have eight early enrollees on hand, as well.

With spring ball coming up in a matter of months, here is who we believe leads at each position and the depth behind them. Bold denotes expected starting status.
