Michigan senior EDGE Derrick Moore has been named to the Lott IMPACT Trophy watch list ahead of the 2025 season.

More from the Lott IMPACT Trophy’s website on the watch list:

The Lott IMPACT® Trophy presented by Allied Universal is the only major defensive college football award that considers character. Named after former NFL Hall of Fame star Ronnie Lott, The Lott Trophy annually goes to the Defensive IMPACT Player of the Year, college football’s top defensive player who has had the biggest impact on his team both on and off the field.  

IMPACT stands for Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity, all characteristics exhibited by Lott during his illustrious playing career.

The 42-man Lott IMPACT® Trophy Watch List is composed of 16 defensive linemen, 13 linebackers and 13 defensive backs. There are 16 players from SEC schools, the most of any conference, followed by the Big Ten with 15. There are five players from the ACC and four from the Big 12 with one from the Mountain West and another from Notre Dame.  

Michigan softball sophomore outfielder Jenissa Conway has been named a third-team All-American by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association. More from MGoBlue.com:

Conway becomes the 70th All-American in Michigan program history — with 42 Wolverines combining for the 70 total honors — and U-M’s first All-American since 2021. She is the ninth different outfielder to garner All-America honors in one of the most competitive categories. Two-time honorees Sierra Lawrence (2015, ’16) and Kelly Christner (2015, ’17) were the most recent selections before Conway.

Conway was a unanimous selection to the All-Big Ten first team after posting a .432 batting average in Big Ten play with a .932 slugging percentage — on seven doubles and 10 homers — and a .481 on-base percentage. She hit .462 over the Big Ten Tournament with three extra-base hits and four RBI, including the go-ahead RBI against UCLA in the sixth inning of the championship game, to earn All-Tournament Team honors. Conway was also named to the NFCA All-Great Lakes Region first team. She earned all those accolades for the first time in her collegiate career.

She boasted a .379 batting average — a 140-point improvement over her rookie-season average (.236) — to rank third among the Wolverines this season and led the team with 59 runs, 75 hits, 18 home runs and 52 RBI. She ranked 16th nationally with 146 total bases — 13 doubles, two triples and 18 homers — and boasted a team-best .737 slugging percentage.

Champions Circle shares some social media reaction from Michigan landing Yaxel Lendeborg, the 6-foot-9, 240-pound UAB transfer who withdrew from the 2025 NBA Draft. The collective is asking for fans to support their efforts to ‘March With May.’

Michigan may have a quarterback disadvantage when it travels to Oklahoma for the Sept. 6 road clash in Norman.

Quote Of The Day

“Michigan lost a lot from last year’s team but reloaded in a big way through the portal and a couple of really talented freshmen. It might take some time for them to jell, but the Wolverines have the makings of a top 5-10 team in the sport.”
