The Michigan football offense this year should be much improved under new coordinator, Jason Beck. These two players can help them reach another level of explosiveness if they produce.

1. Jaime Ffrench

Jaime Ffrench came over to the Wolverines after last season from Texas. He is a former five-star recruit out of Florida. He was somebody that fans, players and coaches were all very excited for when he announced that he would be transferring to Michigan.

However, it does not seem like his name gets brought up a ton when you hear coaches talking about guys who stepped up during spring ball. A lot of the conversation at wide receiver has deservedly been on Andrew Marsh. The other guy who has been turning heads is JJ Buchanan.

Ffrench was a five-star talent out of high school for good reason, and he never really got his shot at Texas to show what he is capable of. If he is a dangerous threat as the number three option, this offense is going to be humming.

2. Salesi Moa

Another wide receiver who has a chance to make a mark on this offense is Salesi Moa. Moa was a high four-star recruit coming out of high school. Coaches have been raving about his athleticism during spring ball.

Moa totaled four catches for 26 yards, including 21 yards after catch in the spring game. This included a spectacular one-handed catch that he turned into a first down. Moa is a guy that can be used in so many different ways, and if he is a versatile threat as the third or fourth option, he will add a wrinkle to this offense that it has not seen in some time.
