The Wolverine’s EJ Holland placed a prediction for Michigan to land UConn wide receiver transfer Skyler Bell, who finished his season over the weekend. The 6-foot, 185-pound Bell led the Huskies with 50 catches for 860 yards and 5 touchdowns. Bell spent his prior three seasons at Wisconsin. He caught 38 passes for 296 yards and a touchdown in 2023 and 30 for 444 yards and 5 scores in 2022.

Yale wide receiver transfer David Pantelis is looking to visit Michigan after the dead period ends (Jan. 1). He finished with 69 catches for 1,018 yards and 11 touchdowns in 11 games in 2024.

After a long streak of wearing white jerseys in bowl games, Michigan football will sport blue tops for the fourth straight bowl when it takes on Alabama Dec. 31 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla. The Wolverines and Crimson Tide will kick off at noon ET on ESPN in the ReliaQuest Bowl.

Michigan announced on social media Monday afternoon that it will wear blue jerseys with maize pants and blue accessories.

The Wolverines also wore blue jerseys in the Orange Bowl in 2021, Fiesta Bowl in 2022 and Rose Bowl in 2023. Michigan sported the same color (with blue pants) in the Jan. 8 national championship game win over Washington. U-M won, 34-13, and was crowned national champs for the 12th time in history.

Michigan has worn its traditional blue jerseys with maize pants in five games this season — wins over Fresno State, Arkansas State, Minnesota, Michigan State and Northwestern. The Wolverines sported blue jerseys with blue pants in losses to Texas and Oregon and a win over USC.

While the teams and coaching staffs are vastly different, Tuesday’s matchup between Michigan and Alabama is a rematch of last year’s College Football Playoff semifinal at the Rose Bowl, an epic game that ended in a 27-20 Wolverine overtime win.

Michigan leads the way for 2026 running back recruit Javian Osborne.

Quote Of The Day

“It was a great win for us through some tough circumstances throughout the year. I think we ended up 14th or 15th in defense. I don’t know what it was in scoring defense, but we’ve come a long way, especially those last six weeks, five weeks or so.”
