WR1s: Roman Wilson, Cornelius Johnson, A.J. Henning; WR2s: Darrius Clemons, Tyler Morris, Semaj Morgan, Fredrick Moore

Ronnie Bell was a big loss for Michigan football and I think the Wolverines will wish Andrel Anthony was still around after watching him stand out at Oklahoma.

That being said, getting Cornelius Johnson back was huge. He caught 32 passes (third on the team) for 499 yards (2nd on the team) and came up big in the Ohio State game again. In addition to his two 70-yard touchdowns last season, he had that diving catch from Cade McNamara in 2021.

Roman Wilson caught 25 passes for 376 yards last season and stood out in the Fiesta Bowl. He’s got the ability to stretch the field — he just needs to stay healthy.

Add in guys like A.J. Henning, who is due for a bigger workload after just nine receptions last season, and young guys like Darrius Clemons, Tyler Morris, Semaj Morgan, and Frederick Moore and the wide receiver room is plenty talented.

TE1: Colston Loveland TE2: AJ Barner

Colston Loveland is a guy that’s going to be a future day-two pick in my opinion, maybe even a first-rounder. Barner is a solid player though and was a four-star transfer according to 247 sports.

Just like last season, it’s not really going to matter who is the starter and who isn’t. Both tight ends are going to see the field a lot. Jim Harbaugh and Sherrone Moore love using two tight ends for the running game and I could see these two combining for 50-60 receptions in 2023.
