Michigan football spring practice and spring game info

It's a new era for Michigan football starting this season as Sherrone Moore has taken over as the head coach for Jim Harbaugh.

Before Harbaugh left for the Chargers and the NFL, he talked about pushing back spring ball following Michigan football winning the national championship game and Moore is following through on that promise as U-M has announced that spring practices will start on March 18th.

Spring football is starting later this season and that's a good thing for the Wolverines because spring ball is important. The transfer portal window following the departure of Jim Harbaugh closes this week. There will be another window during the spring, so it's going to be an important time for the coaching staff, especially on defense when it's all new.

Michigan football has done a great job of player retention so far with the only potential starting-caliber player to leave is Keon Sabb. People made up rumors about Will Johnson following to Alabama but the U-M star called that a lie. He also reached an NIL deal with EA Sports to promote EA Sports College Football 25 as a Michigan Wolverine. I doubt that changes.

The quarterback competition will be a focal point. Alex Orji, Jayden Denegal, Jack Tuttle, Jadyn Davis, and Warren Davis will all battle it out for the job. There is also potential for a transfer at the position.

The spring game for Michigan football is set for April 20th. Hopefully, it will be an actual football game like it was last season, but either way I can't wait for March 18th or April 20th.
