Jersey number changes

Michigan saw several players change jersey numbers this offseason:

• WR Semaj Morgan — No. 82 to No. 0
• DL Enow Etta — No. 96 to No. 17
• LB Cole Sullivan — No. 18 to No. 23
• TE Hogan Hansen — No. 81 to No. 80
• TE Brady Prieskorn — No. 22 to No. 86

Position switches

Etta has also gone from being listed as an EDGE during spring practices to a defensive tackle. He’s up 13 pounds to 308 as fall camp begins, too.

Michigan freshman summer enrollee Mason Curtis was announced by the program as a linebacker when it released its 2024 recruiting class back in February, but the 6-foot-5, 200-pounder is now listed as a defensive back.
