Updates on Michigan football recruiting led by Sherrone Moore and the search for a defensive coordinator in 2024, as reported by insiders in the college football community.
The Michigan Wolverines have had a dynamic year filled with both challenges and triumphs. Despite facing multiple NCAA investigations, they managed to overcome potential distractions and achieve a remarkable season on the field, securing the program’s first national title since sharing one with Nebraska in 1997. However, the team faced further hurdles as coach Jim Harbaugh accepted the head coaching position with the Los Angeles Chargers, and the Wolverines must now replace much of their on-field talent from the 2023 season.
