5 players Michigan football must convince to return for 2025

Michigan football is going to lose some key players from the 2024 season but here are five who could come back and should be top priorities.

Rayshaun Benny, DL

The 6-foot-4, 296-pound defensive tackle could easily go to the NFL draft and would probably get selected in the first few rounds.

Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant are both expected to leave for the NFL draft. They are likely going to be first-round picks. Losing them will be difficult enough to overcome.

The Wolverines can't afford to lose Benny too. Last season, despite battling some injuries, he had 28 tackles, four tackles for loss and a sack.

If Michigan football has NIL money to throw around, I'd throw some at Benny to try and get him back for his redshirt senior season.
