A lot of the talk surrounding college football in the Big Ten at the moment — particularly at Michigan — is about the players opting out. But what about the players opting in?
Michigan has had four players opt out thus far — RT Jalen Mayfield, CB Ambry Thomas, WR Nico Collins and QB Dylan McCaffrey — all for different reasons, with three going pro and McCaffrey transferring. But one Wolverine has confirmed via social media that he’s coming back to finish his senior season in defensive end Kwity Paye.
WOLV-TV first reported that Paye will return to Michigan for the season that begins Oct. 24 and Paye quote-tweeted it affirming that he will be a part of the team come the season opener.

2019 was Paye’s first year starting for the maize and blue, and he amassed 50 tackles with 12.5 for loss and 6.5 sacks.
Along with junior Aidan Hutchinson, the ‘salt and pepper’ duo stands to be formidable on the edges for the Wolverines.
