There are going to be a lot of moving pieces in Michigan’s offense in 2026.

How Jason Beck plans to limit Michigan Football QB Bryce Underwood’s turnovers
One of the more criticized statistics of now-sophomore quarterback Bryce Underwood’s freshman campaign was his touchdown-to-interception ratio.

S Mason Curtis’ path to Michigan Football, outlook for 2026 season
Maybe the most intriguing player on the Michigan Wolverines’ roster heading into the fall is junior safety Mason Curtis.
